Rod Stewart enjoys day out with kids after cancelling shows due to health battle
Sir Rod Stewart's family have rallied round him with support after he was recently sidelined by illness, leading to the cancellation of several performances in the United States. The 80-year-old rock legend sincerely apologised to fans and revealed he needed to recover from the flu.
Rod was reportedly 'devastated' after cancelling the shows and was supported by his pregnant daughter Kimberley, 45, and son Sean, 44. The family headed for some dinner together at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills.
Rod cut a smart figure in a black velvet jacket paired with some casual jeans and a white shirt. Despite recovering from he flu, he appeared in good spirits. He styled his look with some sunglasses and a chunky necklace as he was snapped getting out of a black car.
His daughter Kimberley showed off her growing baby bump in a black mini dress paired with a blazer and boots. Rod's model daughter is about to become a mum of two after she gave birth to her first baby 13 years ago with her ex-partner Benicio Del Toro.
Rod's dinner follows the huge announcement that he was forced to cancel six additional shows, after already cancelling two in Las Vegas due to instructions from the doctors.
Taking to his social media, Rod apologetically said: 'I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu. So sorry my friends. I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon.'
The singer has also had to cancel his show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with just 24 hours' notice. He said in a social media statement at the time that the gig was being rescheduled.
Rod penned to his followers: '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.'
Rod is still currently scheduled to take the legends slot at Glastonbury Festival in Somerset on June 29, in just a few weeks time. While he recently announced that his current tour will be the end of the 'large-scale' world tours, he has no intention to quit the music scene.
The rock legend 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."
Discussing what he sees for the future, the musical icon added: "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…'.

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?'

Lewis Capaldi reveals an A-list singer ghosted him after 'super' night out
Lewis Capaldi may be a celebrity, but even he has been ghosted… by another celeb! (Picture: Matt Baron/Shutterstock) Lewis Capaldi may be one of the biggest names in pop right now, but he's still susceptible to ghosting like the rest of us. The Someone You Loved hitmaker recently returned to the music scene after an extended break to focus on his mental health. Lewis came back with a bang, performing to thousands upon thousands of adoring fans at this year's Glastonbury Festival, having just dropped his latest single, Survive, in which he bravely sings about his struggles. And while he's back on the press circuit, ahead of kicking off his UK tour next month, Lewis has been lifting the lid on some of his showbiz friendships. Alas, when it comes to US megastar Justin Bieber, after an epic night out together, Lewis was met with radio silence. Speaking to Chris Stark for Capital Breakfast, the 28-year-old revealed he and Justin, 31, exchanged numbers at a star-studded bash, but he did not hear from the Baby singer again. The singer confessed that he was ignored by pop star Justin Bieber after a night out (Picture: Capital Breakfast) Lewis sent the Biebs a text, hoping to strike up a friendship (Picture: Capital Breakfast) 'It was amazing,' Lewis said of the event. 'There was famous people, Charli XCX was there, Justin Bieber was there. 'Justin Bieber comes over and said, 'Hey, man, what's going on?' And I said, 'You don't remember my name?' And he said, 'Of course I do, you're Lewis Capaldi'.' 'Me and Bieber had this super night together, like really lovely evening together,' Lewis continued. 'We didn't spend the night together, but we hung out and I'm like, 'me and the Biebs are gonna be best pals, this is huge.' 'And he's like, 'Man, make sure I get your number tomorrow.' And I was like, 'Me and the Biebs, this is huge!'' Unfortunately, Lewis didn't quite get the lovey-dovey response he was hoping for after sending a message of adoration to JB. 'If you're out there, Bieber, wherever you are, text me back, please' (Picture: Matt Baron/Shutterstock) Justin aired him! (Picture: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic) 'I text him maybe the most sucking-up-his-a**e text. I said, 'Just wanted to jump on, bro, last night was so special, great guy, so nice to hang out with you, such a dude.' 'He likes it and doesn't reply. So if you're out there, Bieber, wherever you are, text me back, please. Bieber aired me.' Lewis's recent comeback has been received extremely warmly by his fans, who sobbed as he, too, broke down on the Worthy Farm stage in 2023, unable to finish his set due to a Tourette's flare-up. At the time, he was still navigating living with the condition, apologising to the audience as they sang the lyrics for him. Ahead of his return this summer, the award-winning star was heavily rumoured to be the surprise performer, as cryptic signs promoting his new music appeared in various locations. But that doesn't mean Lewis wasn't nervous, as he recently confessed to 'convulsing' backstage at another secret gig before heading out for his first performance in two years. Lewis recently returned to music after a two-year break (Picture:) He was greeted by thousands of screaming fans as he played a surprise Glastonbury set (Picture: EPA) 'A few weeks prior to that show, we were playing in Chicago, and I had a very similar episode—probably even worse,' he told This Past Weekend with Theo Von. 'I couldn't come back and finish a song. I was backstage, convulsing and having this crazy panic attack. Way worse than what happened at Glastonbury (in 2023).' Fortunately, Lewis was able to power through his nerves and anxiety, which he has spoken openly about, to make it to Glasto, having admitted his breakdown in 2023 was probably 'the best thing that's ever happened' to him, as it meant he then had time to 'go and get help and fix [himself] for the next two years'. During his time out of the spotlight, Lewis has been going to therapy to learn how to manage his Tourette's, with which he was diagnosed in September 2022. He's also overhauled his physical health, having drastically reduced his alcohol intake and switched from antidepressants to antipsychotic medication, which he believes has made a difference. 'It's changed my life,' he said of his new meds. 'My anxiety levels are so low these days. I don't feel the stress.' Lewis broke down while on stage at Worthy Farm just two years ago due to a Tourette's flare-up (Picture: Oli Scarff/AFP via Getty Images) Lewis, who has therapy every week now, will hit the road on September 6 for his first tour show in Sheffield, concluding the sold-out run of limited shows in Dublin on September 30. After being forced to release more tickets due to astonishingly high demand, Lewis wrote on Instagram: 'honestly didn't expect this at all… genuinely had no idea what to expect after taking a break for so long so be seeing this tour sell out faster than any tour i've ever played is the most incredible surreal feeling ❤️ thank you to every single one of you who got a ticket and i'm very sorry to any of you who wanted to come and missed out this time.' He added: 'there won't be any other shows for now, want to make sure I don't push myself too far too soon. means more than ya know how many of you were waiting to get tickets this morning x' Got a story?

Kneecap bring surprise guest on stage at Green Man
Kneecap bring surprise guest on stage at Green Man Irish rap trio Kneecap addressed the BBC's decision not to live stream their Glastonbury Festival set as they welcomed Welsh cafe owner Helen Wilson on stage at Green Man The trio performed at this year's Green Man festival in Bannau Brycheiniog (Image: Parri Thomas - @photo_parri) Irish rap trio Kneecap launched a scathing attack on the BBC during their Green Man Festival performance on Thursday evening, with the group chanting "f*** the BBC". The band slammed the broadcaster after it refused to air their Glastonbury Festival set live. Throughout their politically-charged show at the festival, the Belfast-based group also spoke about their continued backing for Palestine and band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh's forthcoming court date. Thousands of festival-goers packed their Far Out stage performance, with crowds overflowing beyond the venue. The trio also brought Helen Wilson onto the stage - the Welsh café proprietor who livestreamed their Glastonbury appearance on TikTok to millions of viewers. The band hailed Helen as their "hero". "Diolch," they said to the Green Man audience. "It's not a bad crowd for our first time playing in a festival in Wales.", they went on: "We recently played Glastonbury and the BBC wouldn't live stream our set. F*** the BBC." They continued: "So the BBC, they said that they wouldn't show Kneecap live... but there was one woman. Do you know who we are talking about?". Article continues below "There was one hero who decided to TikTok live our gig, and she's from Wales. Can we have a massive round of applause for Helen?". The café owner appeared alongside the trio on stage and was spotted embracing band member Móglaí Bap as the audience erupted in cheers. In June, demands emerged to cancel their Glastonbury appearance, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer declaring the planned performance at Worthy Farm was not "appropriate", following charges against band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, for a terror offence related to displaying a Hezbollah-supporting flag during a 2024 gig. Mo Chara has rejected the allegations, branding the terror offence charge a "political" manoeuvre intended to "silence" the group. Festival organisers at Glastonbury declined to axe the trio's slot on the West Holts stage. The BBC opted against live streaming their set, though they subsequently made a largely uncut version available on BBC iPlayer. From right to left: Kneecap members Liam Og O Hannaigh (Mo Chara), JJ O'Dochartaigh (DJ Provai), and Naoise O Caireallain (Moglai Bap) who performed at Green Man festival on Thursday (Image: © 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved) Helen,rom Swansea, live streamed Kneecap's performance on TikTok, attracting interaction from over two million viewers. The BBC stated at the time: "Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. "We don't always live stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets." During their appearance on the Far Out stage at Green Man Festival, the band also referenced Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh's forthcoming court date, mentioning he would return to court "next Wednesday", apparently confirming the hearing would occur on Wednesday, August 20. On stage, the rapper declared his intention to challenge the British government in court once again, stating: "to beat the British government in their own court for the second time". He further explained: "they stole our funding two years ago, and we went to court and we won," referring to the band's previous legal victory against current Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch, who had blocked an arts grant to the band in 2023. Liam added: "And this time, we are going back to their court and we're going to beat them again." The band revealed that it was their debut performance at a Welsh festival, referring to the audience as their "Celtic brothers". They expressed: "Celtic brothers have to stand together as we can't trust the British government". The band later emphasised the importance of "international solidarity" in the current times. "We are from west Belfast and Derry. Places that know colonialism all too well, as you know yourselves," they shared with the crowd. The band pledged to continue speaking out about Palestine, describing the situation as a genocide and leading the crowd in a "Free, Free Palestine" chant. Article continues below Green Man Festival is set to wrap up on Sunday, August 17. This year's Bannau Brycheiniog event will feature performances from the likes of Underworld, Wet Leg, CMAT, Perfume Genius, John Grant, Wunderhorse, Gwenno and English Teacher.
