Major Glastonbury performer postpones gig due to illness
Glastonbury's Sunday afternoon legends slot performer has cancelled a concert due to illness - just weeks before the festival.
Sir Rod Stewart cancelled his Las Vegas concert on Sunday (01.06.25) "due to illness" - just weeks before he's due to play Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage.
The 'Maggie May' hitmaker - who was recently put on vocal rest amid his mammoth 'One Last Time Tour' - was forced to reschedule his residency gig at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, with a new date set for June 10.
He said in a social media statement: "I am sorry to inform you that I’m not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10. Your tickets will be valid for the new date."
In just 26 days' time (29.06.25), the 80-year-old rock star will play the Sunday afternoon legends slot at the world-famous music festival in Somerset, south west England.
Last month, Rod was seen with a sign around his neck informing anyone he came into contact with that he could not speak after his concert at Milan’s Unipol Forum.
It read: “Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest.”
He returned to the stage at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, three days later on May 13.
The music veteran will be done with "large-scale world tours" once he finishes this year's shows in Europe and North America.
However, he has no plans to retire.
The 'You Wear It Well' singer wrote on Instagram: "This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire.
"I love what I do, and I do what I love."I'm fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79."I'd like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not..."
