Rod Stewart gives fans four-word health update ahead of Glastonbury appearance
Legendary singer Sir Rod Stewart has given fans a brief health update after recently celebrating his 80th birthday.
The Da Ya Think I'm Sexy crooner, who marked his milestone birthday earlier this year, has fans worldwide following an impressive career that has spanned several decades.
Despite the global superstar status that Sir Rod enjoys today, it took a while for him to achieve worldwide fame.
His career began modestly and it wasn't until the 1960s when he launched his solo career that his star started to ascend.
Following the release of his third album, Every Picture Tells A Story, Sir Rod catapulted to fame as the record topped the charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
His career has continued to soar over the years, with the 80 year old still touring globally and releasing new music. Last year, he collaborated with Jools Holland to release Swing Fever, reports Edinburgh Live.
However, during a recent appearance on the Sidetracked with Annie and Nick podcast, he said "I couldn't be better," before adding: "I'm enjoying my life, I've got good health so far and a happy family."
This health update comes amidst news that he had to postpone his concert at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, which was scheduled for last Sunday (June 1).
Sir Rod Stewart has regretfully announced on Instagram: "I am so 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."
Previously in January, the legendary musician had to pull out from performances in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and Lincoln, California due to a bout of strep throat and a Covid diagnosis.
With his recent Las Vegas performance rescheduled for next Tuesday (June 10), the iconic singer-songwriter is gearing up to return to British shores later in the month.
Sir Rod is set to hit the stage at Glastonbury Festival later this month, a moment he shared his exhilaration about with followers stating: "After all these years, I'm proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June. I'll see you there!".
It's been a long wait since Sir Rod last charmed the crowds at Glastonbury, where he was a headline act on the Pyramid Stage back in 2002, 23 years ago.

Sir Rod Stewart, 80, and his leggy wife Penny Lancaster, 54, put on a loved-up display as they hold hands during a sunny stroll in Bel Air
Sir and his wife Penny Lancaster were the display of love as they stepped out holding hands in Los Angeles ' Bel Air on Monday. The British singing legend, 80, and his former model wife, 54, looked smitten while enjoying a sunny stroll together. Penny showed off her endless legs in a pair of denim shorts which she teamed with a chic blouse, finishing off with beige sandals and a matching bag. Meanwhile the Maggie May singer rocked a colourful sportswear look and vintage dark shades. Rod's appearance comes after he candidly opened up about how his split from his ex-wife Rachel Hunter 'tore him to shreds'. He was in a relationship with the New Zealand model, 55, for nine years and they welcomed two children together - daughter Renee, 33, and son Liam, 30. The pair, who have a 24-year age gap, met at an LA nightclub when Rachel was just 21 years old, with Rod admitting his sister Mary thought his wife was 'too young'. Reflecting on the breakdown of their marriage, Rod admitted their age gap did end up being the reason for their eventual split, which he said 'tore him to shreds' at the time. Making rare comments about his ex-wife, he told The Times: 'Rachel left me because she was too young - my sister said I should never have married her in the first place -but it tore me to shreds.' Rod met his now-wife Penny Lancaster just six months after his split from Rachel, and said the gap was purely because his friend wouldn't hand over her number. When asked if he wanted to be single first, he quipped: 'F***ing right, there were six months between Rachel and Penny because my bass player, who had Penny's number, wouldn't give it to me. 'He said, ''All you're going to do now is s**g around'', and he was right: I had a splendid time in those six months.' Rod gushed over his wife Penny, and told how she has 'everything' he wants as he revealed he is now happier than ever. The hitmaker first met his ex-wife Rachel at Roxbury Club in Los Angeles and told how he thought she was a 'goddess' in his 2012 autobiography. 'There was a connection straight away. She was extremely beautiful, but there was something no-nonsense about her as well,' he shared in the book. 'It was there in her New Zealand accent, but also in her face, which was open and smart. 'Not only was she as far removed as could be from the stereotype of the flaky model, but she already had money and fame. 'That was a relief. In my position, that suspicion was always there: does this woman really like me, or just the stuff that surrounds me?'

Liam Gallagher continues to slam Edinburgh Council as Oasis take over Dublin
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Despite Oasis leaving the capital last week, it seems we are still on the Gallagher's minds, well more specifically, Edinburgh Council officials are. Liam let loose on officials after they had singled out the band's fans as "drunk", "fat" and "old" in secret safety briefings and he has continued on his tirade in Dublin. Bosses claimed that most of the 200,000 music-lovers attending the reunion shows across the three days were 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication," the Record reports. During each night of Oasis' epic three-day spectacular at Murrayfield in the capital, Liam slammed council chiefs over the remarks. Now, the Oasis frontman has bashed the council once again but this time during their shows at Croke Park in Dublin over the weekend. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sentstraight to your messages. Liam called out the council by shouting, "Edinburgh City Council", before cutting himself off and pointing to the his head and then the crowd. His brother, Noel Gallagher, chimed in, however, adding: "Four billion f***ing pound they've had." The comments were in relation to Liam's comments on Tuesday August 12, Oasis final performance at Murrayfield, where he said: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". This comes after his remarks on Friday August 8 where the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at Murrayfield - calling council officials "f****** s****". Then, during the following day's show, he said that Edinburgh Council had "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Last week, Council Leader Jane Meagher responded to the Gallagher brother's put-downs. She said: 'I think Liam Gallagher had every right to be annoyed by what he read – I would be too. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox 'It's clear that the many thousands of people who flocked to Murrayfield to catch Oasis's spectacular and highly anticipated reunion shows had a great time – and I want to congratulate the band on their triumphant return to the city." Fans who successfully snapped up tickets for the Oasis 25 dates back in September 2024 had waited 332 days to see the band's first Scottish dates in 16 years since the Gallagher brothers began a well-publicised and long running feud that split the band.

Owner of Edinburgh Harry Potter café The Elephant House gives reopening update
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The iconic Edinburgh café that is said to have been the 'birthplace' of Harry Potter is gearing up to reopen four years after a devastating fire forced it to close its doors. The Elephant House café, on George IV Bridge in Edinburgh's Old Town, was one of many properties that were wrecked by a devastating blaze back in August 2021. Before the inferno, the business was a popular destination for fans who would scrawl quotes, messages and artwork in the toilets as a tribute to the series which meant so much to them. Now, four years later, the owner of the café, David Taylor is ready to take the next steps in restoring the location where JK Rowling is said to have penned elements of the Harry Potter series. In order to do so, he is calling on fans of the beloved books to help and has set up a global crowdfunding campaign to try and raise the £150,000 needed to restore the venue. He said: "The Elephant House has always been a home for writers, dreamers, and fans of literature. The fire was a heartbreaking loss, but the passion and enthusiasm from fans have been overwhelming. The scale of the devastation caused by the fire in such an historic building in the heart of a world heritage site means restoration is complex." According to the fundraiser, a number of steps have to be taken in order to restore the café, including, architectural restoration of the fire-damaged building, the reinstatement of original interior features, a reimagined Writer's Room and accessible facilities, safety upgrades, kitchen refurbishments, and heritage protection compliance. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages All of this comes with unique challenges due to the building's location in a UNESCO world heritage zone. Planning permission and listed building regulations must be followed and restoration costs, as well as supply chain pressures could delay the project. However, David is dead set on bringing back the magic of the original Elephant House café. He continued: "We are determined to bring back this special place, and with the 'Restore the magic' campaign, we hope to unite the community and fans worldwide to help us rebuild.' His campaign will offer fans multiple ways in which they can support the restoration, including exclusive merchandise, sponsorship opportunities, and donation tiers that will allow fans to leave their mark in creative ways.
