- Rod Stewart's reps announced Tuesday the singer has canceled his 'One Last Time' farewell tour concerts for the next four weeks to recover from a 'routine coronary stent procedure,' with no firm return dates given
- The 81-year-old rocker was booked to play U.S. shows through September 5 — including a Tuesday night Cleveland date — before heading to Mexico for three more shows, all now postponed
- Affected dates include roughly half a dozen performances in Stewart's Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a major venue commitment now on hold
- Earlier this week, Stewart called off a planned Sunday Cincinnati concert at the last minute, with his team citing 'an unforeseen but minor medical procedure that required prompt attention'
- In June, Stewart nearly fainted and required oxygen mid-set before finishing a show in suburban Salt Lake City mostly while seated — a detail omitted from competing outlets' headlines
- Stewart said in a statement he is 'already feeling better and very much on the mend' but 'deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down'
Why it matters: Fans holding tickets to Rod Stewart shows through September 5 — including a Cleveland date and Mexico dates — face rescheduling uncertainty as the 81-year-old pauses his farewell tour for a month after a coronary stent procedure, following a June on-stage near-fainting episode and multiple 2025 cancellations already on the books.
