Rod Stewart postpones Las Vegas show citing health issues
Singer Rod Stewart called in sick four hours before his show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
"I'm 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," the 80-year-old rock legend said in a post to his Instagram Story. "Your tickets will be valid for the new date."
The venue, Caesars, also confirmed the postponement of the show scheduled.
According to Deadline, billed as The Encore Shows, the series follows 200 performances in the Grammy winner's 13-year residency after he decided he didn't want to stop playing Caesars.
The current Encore run lasts through October 4.
In 2023, Stewart cancelled an Australian tour date six hours before the show, citing a viral infection that irritated his throat.
Last year, the singer also cancelled his concerts due to Covid-19.
Ticket holders were informed to "hold on to their tickets as they will be honoured for the rescheduled shows.
"Rod's illness followed the singer missing the 200th show of his long-running Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace on when he cited strep throat as the reason for his absence.
At the time, he noted on Instagram, "Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I'm absolutely gutted. I've been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused."
Rod is best known for singing memorable tracks such as I Don't Want To Talk About It, Downtown Train and You're In My Heart, among others.

Trump orders probe into 'conspiracy' to hide Biden's health decline
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered an investigation into what Republicans claim was a cover-up of Joe Biden's declining cognitive health during his term in the White House. "This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history," a presidential memorandum reads. The move is the latest in a long-running campaign by Trump to discredit his predecessor, which has been joined by Republican Party politicians and their cheerleaders in conservative media. They cite Biden's infrequent public appearances while in office, as well as his apparent unwillingness to sit for interviews as evidence of what they say was a man incapable of doing the demanding job of Commander-in-Chief of the United States. They insist that those around Biden covered up his physical and cognitive decline, taking decisions on his behalf and using a device that could reproduce his signature to allow them to continue to run the country in his name. "The Counsel to the President, in consultation with the Attorney General and the head of any other relevant executive department or agency... shall investigate... whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President," Wednesday's document says. The probe will also look at "the circumstances surrounding Biden's supposed execution of numerous executive actions during his final years in office (including) the policy documents for which the autopen was used (and) who directed that the President's signature be affixed." Biden, who was 81 at the time, dropped his bid for a second term after a disastrous debate performance against Trump renewed concerns about his health and mental acuity.
