Rod Stewart abruptly postpones Las Vegas show hours before kickoff
He doesn't want to talk about it. Rod Stewart was forced to postpone a residency performance at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas just hours before the show was set to kick off on Sunday. While the 'Maggie May' rocker said he wasn't 'feeling well,' he assured his disappointed fans that the canceled performance would be made up later this month. 8 Rod Stewart was forced to postpone a residency performance at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Sunday.

APEX / MEGA '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,' Stewart, 80, wrote in an Instagram Story less than four hours before the concert was scheduled to begin. 'Your tickets will be valid for the new date,' he added. The Colosseum released a separate statement shortly after and confirmed that the former Faces frontman had to postpone the June 1 show because of an unspecified illness. 8 The concert was rescheduled for June 10. Getty Images 'We are sorry to inform that due to illness, Sir Rod Stewart's show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10,' the venue announced on Instagram. 'Your tickets will be valid for the new date.' While most of the 'Stay With Me' singer's fans wished him well amid his mysterious illness, others complained that the show was postponed and that they wouldn't be able to attend the new date. 'That feels kinda cheap for a show in which a lot of people are tourists,' one person wrote on The Colosseum's post. 'Should give option for refund.' 8 Stewart was forced to cancel his 200th residency concert in August 2024 after coming down with strep throat. GC Images 'Feeling so sad of this situation, won't be able to come back,' another commented, 'but for sure hope Rod is feeling well soon!' The Post has reached out to Stewart's reps for comment.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National Tour Is a Spellbinding Display of Star Power
One year ago last week, Kendrick Lamar set flames to Drake's reputation that the rap world is still feeling the embers from. In just a week, songs like 'Euphoria,' '6:16 In LA,' and yes, 'Not Like Us,' bested Drake's offering in their quick-draw war of words, and subsequently crowned Lamar the rapper of his generation in the eyes of many. He rode that momentum into GNX, a 12-track album that debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200. That's the tidal wave of energy he rode into the MetLife Stadium stop of his Grand National Tour, alongside Jersey girl SZA. He and SZA are in high demand. The 35-year-old singer-songwriter is a bona fide music superstar in her own right, and the two offered the tristate area a special main event concert. The show started with DJ Mustard, who did his best to warm up the crowd with rap standards before Lamar and SZA hit the stage. The stage design somewhat resembled the diamond design of Lamar's Super Bowl halftime set, with a giant stage leading out toward three smaller bases. The design gave the two ample room to roam and get decent face time with fans in the lower levels, which they both took advantage of throughout the set. (The stage also rose during the show.) Behind them was a giant three-panel screen. From my stage-right vantage point, I could see how the two used the stage's angles to project a panoramic view of certain visuals. The screen served different purposes at different junctures. For SZA, there were multiple serene landscapes aiding her dreamy catalog, while Lamar used videos of himself in March 1992 during 'DNA,' and hammered home his attack on Drake's identity with a collage of Black iconography during 'Not Like Us.' More from Rolling Stone Kendrick Lamar Leads BET Awards Nominations, Doechii, Drake, Future, GloRilla Tie Behind Him Drake's Label Wants His Revised 'Not Like Us' Lawsuit Dismissed: Legal 'Blather' A Year Later, No One Can Get Over the Kendrick and Drake Beef Lamar came out first, rising from a black Grand National car below the stage and tearing into 'Wacced Out Murals' (the Grand National SZA rose from was naturally covered with ivy). The two alternated between sets all night with a slick interplay. Lamar turned the mood down with 'Man at the Garden,' leading into SZA's 'Scorsese Baby Daddy,' while she ended her solo set with 'Kiss Me More,' leading into Lamar's final tracks; they also had moments when they did collaborations such as '30 for 30' and 'Luther.' Their switches also gave the two time to switch attire multiple times. While Lamar alternated from a mostly camo fit, putting his jacket on and off, SZA was in full starlet mode, with four different outfits. But no matter what they were wearing, they had the crowd captivated. SZA stuck to lights and fireworks, whereas Lamar had fireballs going off, especially during his Drake disses. The mixed-aged crowd, seemingly mid-thirties and down, likely discovered Lamar and SZA at various points along their decades-plus journeys, and some may have just tapped in last year. It seems like Lamar's more recent output got the most recognition. He even noted the dynamic, jokingly telling fans to turn to their neighbors, church-style, and ask if they knew one of his earlier singles. I've seen Lamar play arenas and festival stages multiple times, and he carried the same craft into his stadium show, delving into his rapid-fire rhymes without missing a beat. He also introduced some flourishes for his live show, performing a new verse on 'Family Ties' and remixing songs like 'mA.A.d city' over Anita Baker. While the tour's title and the moment at large belonged to Lamar, the Jersey crowd loved SZA. They popped for her pop hits, like 'Kill Bill,' and for heartrending tracks, like 'Nobody Gets Me,' which were all sung solidly with no backing vocals. She had guitarists play during multiple songs, including 'F2F.' She acknowledged the magnitude of the moment by raving, 'Am I home or what?' And later declared alongside Kendrick that 'the myth of New York having no energy is over.' And though she didn't do her in-air routine because of the Northeast winds, she still gave a varied set, dancing all over the stage. Both artists took the elephant in the room head on. Lamar performed his verse of 'Poetic Justice,' while SZA recited her verse on 'Rich Baby Daddy.' Curiously, Lamar refrained from saying 'Oakland' when he rhymed 'That __ show gonna be your last stop' on 'Not Like Us.' But that's not to be confused with mercy. Lamar performed 'Euphoria' and 'Not Like Us,' with the former song inspiring his barest, most intentional usage of the giant screen behind him (placing 'Lies About Me, Truth About You' in red font over a black background). And while the crowd went up for 'A minor…,' and 'we don't wanna hear you say nigga no more,' it wasn't a bash-Drake event. The audience seemed just as excited to sing the 'Don't Kill My Vibe' chorus and 'I do,' during SZA's rendition of 'I Hate U.' Both artists tore through their catalog standards, utilizing the full stage, as did dancers accompanying them in various fashions. When several women popped their asses out as Lamar rapped 'Show me something natural' during 'Humble,' they were a visual ad-lib. Some of them picked up SZA during one track, and bolstered her choreography on many others. When a man did a solo dance routine at the end of 'Squabble Up,' he felt like a co-star. Between songs were humorous clips of the two being 'deposed.' While the clip that played before 'Not Like Us' has gone viral, the show displayed several other clips. In one, Lamar chides the interviewer for nonsensically implying he disappears from the public yet seeks attention. In another clip, they struggle to pronounce SZA's name, which may have something to do with her saging the room in another snippet. And toward the end of the set, the two dig into their natural-comedian bags during a clip of a gas station snack run. Their years of musical chemistry played out well onscreen and onstage. Both artists tried their best to engage the hefty crowd, and mostly succeeded with movement, strong vocals, and a mesh of creative screen animations, pyrotechnics, and lighting. While the set lasted two and a half hours, it rarely lulled, with both doing a solid job of imbuing their set portions with energetic songs to keep the crowd into it. Lamar and SZA are seasoned veterans at this point in their respective careers, and that was reflected even during their first stadium tour. They were strictly business — in a good way.
