Rod Stewart gives fans four-word health update ahead of Glastonbury appearance
Singer Sir Rod Stewart has shared a four-word health update after he was forced to postpone a recent tour date in Las Vegas with the popular star set to appear at Glastonbury later this month 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.
