Rod Stewart, 81, has called off every remaining date on his farewell tour following a routine procedure to fit a coronary stent, according to a statement from the singer. He told fans he was already feeling better and thanked the medical team who treated him, though he must now take four weeks off to recover.
The cancellations follow a last-minute withdrawal from a scheduled performance in Ohio on 9 August 2026, which his team described as being caused by an unforeseen but minor medical procedure requiring prompt attention.
