More info Sir Rod Stewart has had to postpone his Las Vegas show on Sunday "due to illness" - just weeks before his forthcoming appearance at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. The 80-year-old 'Maggie May' singer, who was recently put on vocal rest, rescheduled his performance set for The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, with a makeup gig now scheduled for June 10. Following the move, Sir Rod took to Instagram to update his followers and share some exciting tour news. Promoting the One Last Time tour, he wrote: "I'm bringing The One Last Time Tour your way on July 18th and I've got the brilliant @therichardmarx joining me as a special guest! Tickets go on sale this Friday!" Fans immediately inundated the comment section with reactions ranging from excitement to support. A chuffed follower posted: "So excited. Can't wait!" while another shared their enthusiasm: "Already got my tickets." Another added their voice saying: "This is exciting news," reports the Express. Meanwhile, there was a sense of disappointment among some followers about the Vegas show being moved. One expressed concern: "I hope your discomfort has improved and that you are now well. Take care of yourself, your health is the most important thing." One fan expressed their disappointment, saying: "Absolutely heart broken your Sunday show at Caesars was canceled 2 hours before doors opened. Lost air fare, hotel and everything else. Worst part is my broken heart. We were already at Caesars all decked out hitting a slot machine right at the front door. After all that knowing that door would not open seemed like a bad joke. I cried my heart out and went back to hotel. Sad part is show is rescheduled for Tuesday and we fly out Monday. Just one day out of my reach. While my heart is broken, I wish my music idol all the best and pray for his health and wellness which is the most important part." Another fan added: "What a shame - 3 hrs notice to cancel your show tonight in Las Vegas! A whole trip was planned from UK to see you arrangements made over a year ago! - We can't make the rescheduled date - we are on flight back to UK!". The artist apologised to fans on social media, stating: "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." The rocker is set to perform at the Glastonbury music festival in Somerset in less than 25 days, taking to the stage for the Sunday afternoon legends slot.

Sir Rod Stewart is forced to CANCEL Las Vegas concert due to illness just weeks before he is due to play Glastonbury's legends slot
Sir Rod Stewart cancelled his Las Vegas concert on Sunday 'due to illness' - just weeks before he's due to play Glastonbury 's Pyramid Stage. The Maggie May hitmaker - who was recently put on vocal rest amid his mammoth One Last Time Tour - was forced to reschedule his residency gig at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, with a new date set for June 10. He said in a social media statement: '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.' In just 25 days' time, the 80-year-old rock star will play the Sunday afternoon legends slot at the world-famous music festival in Somerset, south west England. Last month, Rod was seen with a sign around his neck informing anyone he came into contact with that he could not speak after his concert at Milan's Unipol Forum. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It read: 'Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest.' He returned to the stage at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, three days later on May 13. The music veteran will be done with 'large-scale world tours' once he finishes this year's shows in Europe and North America. However, he has no plans to retire. The 'You Wear It Well' singer 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. '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...' It comes as Sir Rod is planning a mini-reunion with his band Faces when he takes to the stage for Glastonbury 's Legends slot next month. Ronnie Wood, who is a close friend of the Maggie May hitmaker and performed alongside him in the 70s, is heading to Worthy Farm for a performance. Rod himself shared the news during an interview on The Peter Crouch podcast, after he was asked whether he's kept in touch with the Rolling Stones or Sir Elton John. He replied: 'Not really, but Woody and I do a lot just recently because we are going to do Glastonbury together.' When asked why they lost touch, Rod said it was because Ronnie and Elton had quit booze, saying: 'I think they stay away from me.' Rod was tight-lipped when asked whether Faces drummer Kenney Jones will be joining them on-stage. However, the music legend confirmed in November that he had reunited with his Faces bandmates for a new album. Speaking on the Soccer A-Z podcast, Rod said: 'I'm meeting up with the last two members of the Faces tomorrow, and we're working on a documentary, because next year will be our 50th anniversary, or 60s. 'I don't know what it is, but when the faces were together, and we're trying to put out an album. So I shall be with Mr. Woods and Mr. Jones.' Rod and Ronnie have been friends since 1969 when they were both members of rock group Faces. Although the band parted ways in 1975, the pair kept in touch, with Rod serving as best man to Ronnie's wedding to Sally in 2012. The Faces - which formed in 1969 - released their final album Ooh La La in 1973, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2012. The five-piece band formed in 1969 and also included bassist Ronnie Lane, who died in 1997 after battling with multiple sclerosis, and keyboardist Ian McLagan, who died last December following a stroke. Famous for huge hits such as Stay With Me in 1971 and Ooh La La in 1973, the long-haired rockers also gained a reputation for their off-stage antics involving alcohol, groupies and wrecked hotel rooms. But with Ronnie departing from the band in 1975 to become a full-time member of the Rolling Stones, Rod eventually dissolved the group officially at the end of that year. The group previously reunited in 2015, with Rod saying at the time: 'Getting back on stage with the lads playing Stay with Me and other favourites will be a blast and will make this a very special night. 'Being in The Faces was a mad and brilliant time for all of us and although we don't have Ronnie and Mac with us anymore this is our chance to remember them and say Had Me a Real Good Time.' Kenney added: 'The years of The Faces were some of the best of my life and I'm so proud to have been a part of the band. The original members were set to reunite for their 2012 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Rod was forced to pull out of the gig when he came down with the flu.

Rod Stewart Collects Lifetime Achievement Award & Closes 2025 AMAs by Singing ‘Forever Young'
Sir Rod Stewart capped the 2025 American Music Awards by accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award and giving the audience one of his patented high-energy performances to end the show on Monday (May 26). The 80-year-old icon was introduced by five of his eight children — Kim, Ruby, Renee, Liam and Sean — who honored their dad's 60-year career, which has seen him sell millions upon millions of albums worldwide thanks to such Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits as 'Maggie May, 'Hot Legs,' 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?' and 'Some Guys Have All the Luck.' More from Billboard Here Are the 2025 American Music Awards Winners (Updating Live) Shakira Falls Onstage During 'Whenever, Wherever' Performance at Montreal Concert Billy Joel's Daughter Alexa Ray Joel Offers Encouraging Words About Dad's Health Diagnosis 'I'm absolutely flabbergasted — I had no idea they were here,' a gobsmacked Rod the Mod said after hugging it out with his brood, cheekily joking that he's got 'eight all together … I didn't have a television.' Stewart recalled that when he started singing in the early 1960s, 'well before all of you lot were here,' he said, gesturing to the crowd, 'the reason I got into it was because I had this burning ambition to sing. That's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous.' The vocalist who began his career singing blues and R&B standards in his native England before joining the Jeff Beck Group and then Faces and launching his mega-successful solo era, thanked all the musicians he's played with over the years as well as his biggest influences, including Sam Cooke, Temptations singer and solo star David Ruffin and blues great Muddy Waters. Honors aside, Stewart seemed genuinely touched that five of his children were sharing the stage with him, shouting out the sweet surprise once again before plugging his Caesars Palace residency gig and then jauntily skipping over to the stage to perform his 1988 Hot 100 No. 12 hit 'Forever Young.' Wearing daringly tight pinstriped black pants, a white tuxedo jacket and a ruffled white shirt opened to reveal his chest and a chunky necklace, the raspy voiced icon looked ageless as he played air guitar while singing 'May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong/ Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond/ And may you never love in vain,' as a trio of backup singers in shimmering black minidresses echoed the song's ageless chorus back to him. Stewart's spirited show-closer also roped in a three-man bagpipe team, adding a bit more pizzazz to a performance that also spun through a Vegas-worthy tap dance break and a double fiddle and marching band drum solo. Watch Stewart accept the Lifetime Achievement Award below. The American Music Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.
