Sir Rod Stewart is the latest award winning rocker to cancel and postpone tour dates due to medical issues.
Now 81, Sir Rod has postponed the remainder of his farewell tour – “One Last Time” after needing a coronary stent implanted.
His publicist issued a statement saying, “following further medical evaluation, Sir Rod Stewart has successfully undergone a routine coronary stent procedure. Doctors are pleased with his recovery, and Rod is doing very well and has returned to his normal daily activities. On the advice of his doctors, he will take the next four weeks to recuperate and regain full fitness before returning to the stage. Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to continue his current tour dates.”
There was no information regarding the status of concerts other than the promoters and venues would relay any further information about the “affected performances”.
Sir Rod issued a statement saying, “I’m already feeling better and very much on the mend. I want to thank the doctors, nurses and everyone who has taken such wonderful care of me. I’m deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down, but I look forward to getting back on stage and having a good time with you all again soon.”
