Following doctor's recommendations, Rod Stewart regretfully cancels his May 29 and 30 performances at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, but plans to return to the stage from June 2.
Stewart expressed his apologies to his fans, stating, "I am resting my voice and recovering from a sinus infection. I hope to see you at a future concert at Caesars Palace or during the summer tour." Some fans received notification of the cancellation less than two hours before the scheduled start time.
I apologize to my fan family. I am resting my voice and recovering from a sinus infection. I hope to see you at a future concert at Caesars Palace or during the summer tour.
Despite these health challenges, Stewart has consistently indicated he has no plans to retire from music. While he announced a farewell tour in 2024, he later clarified this referred to large-scale world tours, not a complete withdrawal from performing. "This will be the end of big world tours, but I have no intention of retiring. I love what I do, and I do what I love," he previously shared on social media. The musician also reportedly maintains a rigorous fitness routine, including gym workouts, swimming, and even 100-meter sprints on a private track.
