Sir Rod Stewart cancels gig hours before he's due on stage due to illness
The Maggie May singer said he isn't feeling well.
Sir Rod Stewart has had to cancel his performance tonight just hours before he's set to take to the stage. The 80-year-old singer was due to be gigging at the The Colosseum at Caesars Place but has had to cancel due to being ill.
Announcing the news on Instagram, Rod told fans: "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. Sir Rod."
This is not the first time Sir Rod has had to cancel his Vegas shows as last summer he was forced to cancel a string of tour dates including his milestone 200th Las Vegas residency show. Rod's team said he had to miss the milestone show due to 'recovering from a summer strain of Covid-19.
The Celtic-daft singer was set to bring his The Hits show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to a close after performing at the venue across the last 13 years. However, Sir Rod withdrew hours before what was meant to be his last show at the venue, saying he was "desperately sorry".
Just last week, Rod made a huge announcement about his Glastonbury performance that he will be joined on stage by his Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood.
The rockstar is filling the coveted legends slot at the Worthy Farm festival, with headliners The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young also set to play over the course of the five-day event.
Faces, who are best known for hits including Stay With Me, formed in 1969 following the split of Small Faces. The band was made up of bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboard player Ian McLagan, drummer Kenney Jones, Ronnie Wood on guitar and Sir Rod on lead vocals.
When asked if he keeps in contact with The Rolling Stones' members and 'other people in music' whilst starring on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Sir Rod replied: "Not really. Woody (Wood) I do a lot, just recently, because we're going to do Glastonbury together. Elton, sometimes, you know, birthdays, but nowhere near how we used to.
"I think probably because he doesn't drink anymore, and Woody doesn't drink, and I still do. They stay away from me. Bad influence."
He also told the podcast: "I've done it (Glastonbury) before. I did it in 2002 but this is on the legend stage.
"I was only supposed to play for an hour and a quarter, but I've asked them 'Please, another 15 minutes' because I play for over two hours every night and it's nothing, but yeah, looking forward to it."
Sir Rod's Glastonbury legends slot will kick off at the traditional teatime on Sunday June 29, although the exact time is not confirmed until the complete timetable is officially announced by organiser Emily Eavis,.
While the headliners and the majority of performers for this year's festival have now been confirmed, many fans have been left wondering who the secret set might be after Kasabian's memorable appearance last year.
Speculated contenders are Mumford & Sons, Green Day, Sam Fender, The Cure and US rockers HAIM, but it's anyone's guess at this stage.
Faces released four studio albums and toured regularly up until the band split in 1975 and Sir Rod went on to pursue his successful solo career.

REVEALED: The English Premier League star Aberdeen winger Shayden Morris watches before games for inspiration
Aberdeen winger Shayden Morris has revealed he studies footage of an England international and Premier League legend in a bid to further improve his game. Morris played a pivotal role in the Dons' Scottish Cup final win against Celtic as the Reds won the trophy for the first time since 1990. The 23-year-old made an explosive impact off the bench when his cross was parried into his own net by Celtic keeper Kasper Schmeichel. In a memorable season, Scottish Cup-winning hero Morris also scooped the Aberdeen Player of the Year award – voted for by supporters. However, he is constantly striving to improve his performances and watches footage of Raheem Sterling for inspiration before matches. Sterling, 30, won four Premier League titles, an FA Cup and five League Cups with Manchester City. Currently at Chelsea, the winger – capped 82 times by England – has scored 174 career goals and spent last season on loan at Arsenal. Morris said: 'I still watch clips of Raheem Sterling from his Manchester City days to study his movement. 'Of course, at Arsenal he hasn't been the same as he was before at City, but it's him as a person I look up to. 'I want to improve so even before games sometimes I'll study Sterling online. 'He has pace, but he's also got the skill to make the most of that, so I'm trying to add stuff that he did. 'I like to think I'm slowly getting better at that so I can help the team as much as possible.' Signed from Fleetwood Town in summer 2022, Morris endured a frustrating first two seasons at Pittodrie due to injury. In his debut season, the winger suffered a hamstring tear which ruled him out for four months. There was a further injury setback in the 2023-24 season when Morris was ruled out for three months with another hamstring injury which required surgery. However, under manager Jimmy Thelin, the wing star has delivered a breakout season with five goals and 13 assists. In his constant pursuit of improvement, Morris has also sought advice from former Scotland international winger Robert Snodgrass. Former Leeds United, Aston Villa, West Ham and Norwich City star Snodgrass is now an agent. Capped 28 times, Snodgrass is with the same agency as Morris' representative. Morris hopes guidance from Snodgrass can help him develop into 'something really special'. He said: 'I've also got a good support system around me with my agent Joe Bolger, as we do a lot of analysis. 'Robert Snodgrass is also part of the agency and we do a lot of stuff together as well. 'He was a winger and quite a technical player – although he didn't have as much pace as me. 'In fact, he told me: 'I didn't have your pace, but I've got the other side of the game'. 'So if he can help me with that other side then hopefully I can merge into something really special.' Morris may have been seeking advice from Snodgrass and inspiration from Sterling on how to elevate his game to the next level. However, he has also been passing on his own knowledge to help younger players develop. Morris helped fellow Londoner Alfie Dorrington during his loan spell at Pittodrie from Tottenham Hotspur. Centre-back Dorrington started the Scottish Cup final win against Celtic at Hampden. The 20-year-old has now returned to his parent club. Prior to joining Aberdeen on loan. Dorrington signed an extended contract with Tottenham until summer 2029. Morris said: 'When Alfie first came up, I knew he hadn't played much first-team football so I really tried to help him. 'I told him how things were really different compared to London, and he settled in well. 'Alfie showed he's a really good player technically and built on that physical side. 'I think he's only going to get better and better – you can see why Spurs rate him so highly.'

I'm a fashion expert – Vogue's Glasto ‘essentials' list is costly & ridiculous… here's how to replicate it for pennies
WHEN deciding what to pack for camping in a muddy festival field, does a £75 electric toothbrush and £80 eye mask spring to mind? No, us neither. 16 This month 200,000 people will descend on Worthy Farm — and Vogue magazine has decided to make sure its readers are well-prepared with a questionable list of 15 'Glastonbury Essentials,' worth £1,839. Gone are the days of practical wellies, denim shorts and a naff cagoule. The fashion bible instead recommends a £595 skirt from Isabel Marant and Vivienne Westwood sunnies for £225. While models and Glasto regulars Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne get the VIP treatment, Vogue seems to have forgotten that the rest of the campers will spend five days squatting in a portable loo. Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale finds some affordable alternatives that you won't mind getting dirty — and saves £1,504.02. SHORTS You'll be sitting in a mucky field, so swap the £60 denim longline shorts from Cos, left, for this pair from Tu at Sainsbury's, £18, right. SAVE: £42 DRESS 16 The black ruffle maxi from All Saints, right, screams festival chic, but it's £229. Boohoo has similar for just £42, left. SAVE: £187 TOP 16 Tie-front styles are all the rage, but Aligne's design, left, is £119. Mango has a similar option for just £35.99. Fans slam Glastonbury as 'worst one ever' as full lineup announced SAVE: £83.01 BIKINI TOP If the sun comes out, Vogue suggests & Other Stories' leopard-print triangle top, £27, left. But F&F at Tesco's, right, is identical and less than half price at £12.50. SAVE: £14.50 WEATHERPROOF SHOES Doc Martens, left, are practical, but at £200 they are more than double the price of these from John Lewis, right, £55.30 on sale. SAVE: £144.70 SLIDER To wear inside your tent, Vogue recommends these, left, for £44, from Free People. But Primark 's sliders are only £5. SAVE: £39 WATER BOTTLE Staying hydrated is key, but skip the Ocean Bottle for £35, right. Pick up this for £7.50 from Argos, left SAVE: £27.50 SKIRT You can look stylish without splashing £595 on this paisley mini from Isabel Marant, left. Cider at Amazon has a dupe for £32.12. SAVE: £562.88 EYE MASK It is supposed to protect your lashes, but forking out £80 on Drowsy Sleep Co's mask, left, would be enough to give us nightmares. Go for this silky one at Amazon, for just £12.99. SAVE: £67.01 SUNGLASSES They will likely end up lost or broken so swap this £225 pair from Vivienne Westwood, left, for Primark's £4 ones. JACKET If you don't fancy blowing even more of your budget on Uniqlo's windproof jacket, left, £50, as per Vogue's list, you can get one for £35.99, from Stradivarius, right. SAVE: £14.01 BIG BAG This 8L sling bag from Patagonia, right, is wipeable, but it is £55. So pick up a saving with this one from Asos, £21. SAVE: £34 SMALL BAG Vogue suggests this water-repellent Uniqlo cross-body bag for day- to-day use – and at £20, we do too. COCKTAILS The Moth variety pack, £20 for 8 cans, left, made it on to Vogue's list. But Funkin has similar for £13.10 at Sainsbury's. SAVE: £6.90 TOOTHBRUSH Most campers will stick to a cheap plastic brush, but if you insist on electric, The Range has one for £14.49. So skip Vogue's pick, right, which is £75 from SURI.
