Ahead of Glastonbury, Rod Stewart cancels two concerts because of flu
Rod Stewart has cancelled two concerts this week while he recovers from a bout of flu. As he considers one of the biggest gigs of his life later this month, playing to what is likely to be more than 100,000 people at Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, Stewart cancelled performances at the Colosseum theatre in Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas. The first, on Monday night, was called off a few hours before the show began, and rescheduled for 10 June. Writing on Instagram, Stewart complained of 'not feeling well'. Now Stewart has cancelled a Thursday concert, too, apologising to fans and explaining: 'My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding.' He has not announced whether that concert will be rescheduled. Stewart has had a few health setbacks this year. He cancelled three concerts in January after suffering both strep throat and Covid in the space of a few days, and after a concert in May, he was seen with a sign around his neck reading: 'Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest.' The 80-year-old is currently on his One Last Time tour, which he has said will be his last time doing a 'large-scale world tour'. Speaking in November 2024, he added: 'I have no desire to retire. I love what I do, and I do what I love … I'd like to move on to a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour [in 2026] – smaller venues and more intimacy.' He is set to perform the Sunday teatime 'legends' slot at Glastonbury, made even more nostalgic and crowd pleasing this year as it will be followed by Nile Rodgers & Chic. That evening's music will then be rounded out by Noah Kahan and Olivia Rodrigo. Stewart returned to the top of the charts in 2024 with his album Swing Fever, a collaboration with Jools Holland.

Rod Stewart, 80, cancels Las Vegas concert AGAIN as 'doctors order he rest to recover from the flu'
Rod Stewart has cancelled his Las Vegas concert once again following doctors orders he must rest in order to recover from the flu. The rock legend, 80, was due to take to the stage on Thursday (June 5) at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The hitmaker hasn't as of yet confirmed a new date. Posting an Instagram statement on Wednesday, he wrote: 'I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. 'My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding.' Rod was forced to reschedule his residency gig on Monday due to the illness, 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.' The Maggie May hitmaker was recently put on vocal rest amid his mammoth One Last Time Tour. In just 25 days' time, the rock star will play the Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury 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. 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.

'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.
