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.

Sir Rod Stewart cancels gig hours before he's due on stage due to illness
The Maggie May singer said he isn't feeling well. Sir Rod Stewart has had to cancel his performance tonight just hours before he's set to take to the stage. The 80-year-old singer was due to be gigging at the The Colosseum at Caesars Place but has had to cancel due to being ill. Announcing the news on Instagram, Rod told fans: "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. Sir Rod." This is not the first time Sir Rod has had to cancel his Vegas shows as last summer he was forced to cancel a string of tour dates including his milestone 200th Las Vegas residency show. Rod's team said he had to miss the milestone show due to 'recovering from a summer strain of Covid-19. The Celtic-daft singer was set to bring his The Hits show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to a close after performing at the venue across the last 13 years. However, Sir Rod withdrew hours before what was meant to be his last show at the venue, saying he was "desperately sorry". Just last week, Rod made a huge announcement about his Glastonbury performance that he will be joined on stage by his Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood. The rockstar is filling the coveted legends slot at the Worthy Farm festival, with headliners The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young also set to play over the course of the five-day event. Faces, who are best known for hits including Stay With Me, formed in 1969 following the split of Small Faces. The band was made up of bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboard player Ian McLagan, drummer Kenney Jones, Ronnie Wood on guitar and Sir Rod on lead vocals. When asked if he keeps in contact with The Rolling Stones' members and 'other people in music' whilst starring on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Sir Rod replied: "Not really. Woody (Wood) I do a lot, just recently, because we're going to do Glastonbury together. Elton, sometimes, you know, birthdays, but nowhere near how we used to. "I think probably because he doesn't drink anymore, and Woody doesn't drink, and I still do. They stay away from me. Bad influence." He also told the podcast: "I've done it (Glastonbury) before. I did it in 2002 but this is on the legend stage. "I was only supposed to play for an hour and a quarter, but I've asked them 'Please, another 15 minutes' because I play for over two hours every night and it's nothing, but yeah, looking forward to it." Sir Rod's Glastonbury legends slot will kick off at the traditional teatime on Sunday June 29, although the exact time is not confirmed until the complete timetable is officially announced by organiser Emily Eavis,. While the headliners and the majority of performers for this year's festival have now been confirmed, many fans have been left wondering who the secret set might be after Kasabian's memorable appearance last year. Speculated contenders are Mumford & Sons, Green Day, Sam Fender, The Cure and US rockers HAIM, but it's anyone's guess at this stage. Faces released four studio albums and toured regularly up until the band split in 1975 and Sir Rod went on to pursue his successful solo career. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Rod Stewart, 80, cancels gig over ill health after making Glastonbury promise
Sir Rod Stewart has pulled out of his gig tonight hours before he's due on stage. The 80-year-old rocker was due to play The Colosseum at Caesars Place but has had to cancel due to ill health. Taking to Instagram, Rod said: "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. Sir Rod." Last summer, Sir Rod was forced to cancel a string of tour dates including his milestone 200th Las Vegas residency show as he made a sad health admission. Rod's team said they 'regretted to announce' that Rod would have to bow out as he is still 'recovering from a summer strain of Covid-19. T he singer was set to bring his The Hits show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to a close after performing at the venue across the last 13 years. However, Sir Rod withdrew hours before what was meant to be his last show at the venue, saying he was "desperately sorry". He added: "Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I'm absolutely gutted. I've been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully we'll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there," he vowed. According to the NHS, a strep infection can mean patients having a sore throat, a rash, nausea and vomiting and muscle aches. It is often not a serious illness and can be treated with antibiotics. The star's latest health blow comes after he said he was in the prime of his performing career and couldn't see himself retiring in a brand new interview. Sir Rod also confirmed he will reunite with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for his set at Glastonbury Festival. The 80-year-old musician is filling the coveted tea-time legends slot at the music event, which is being headlined by British pop/rock band The 1975, folk rock star Neil Young and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo. Faces, who were known for hits including Stay With Me, formed in 1969 following the split of Small Faces. Bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboard player Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones were joined by Wood on guitar and Sir Rod on lead vocals. Asked if he keeps in touch with The Rolling Stones' members and 'other people in music' while on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Sir Rod said: 'Not really. Woody (Wood) I do a lot, just recently, because we're going to do Glastonbury together.

Faces released four studio albums and toured regularly until 1975, when the band split up and Sir Rod went on to pursue a solo recording career. Earlier in the week the veteran rockstar was presented with a prestigious lifetime achievement award by five of his children at the American Music Awards (AMAs). His best known solo songs include Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?, Every Beat Of My Heart, and Maggie May. In 2024, he promised he would not retire but confirmed his 2025 European and North American shows would bring an end to his 'large-scale world tours', with his next slate to be held at more intimate venues. His latest album, a collaboration with Jools Holland, was released in February 2024 and went to number one on the UK chart.

Rod Stewart's unlikely fake name given at hotels after they banned his band
Sir Rod Stewart first teamed up with Ronnie Wood as part of legendary band The Faces in 1969 and famously 'had me a real good time' - now they're reuniting for Glastonbury - but what can fans expect? It's been 55 years since Sir Rod Stewart first teamed up with Ronnie Wood as part of legendary band The Faces and famously 'had me a real good time.. Now the rather more wrinkly rockers are to reunite on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage later this month, when they take the Legends slot. In the five decades or so since they played their unique fusion of rock 'n' roll, blues and psychedelia - with hits like Stay With Me (1971), Ooh La La (1973) and Had Me a Real Good Time (1970) - the faces of The Faces have changed … a lot! Just as well known for their drinking, drug-taking and debauchery as they were for their hit songs, wrecking hotel rooms grabbed the band as many headlines as their music. Back then, Rod Stewart was a fresh-faced 24-year-old singer with the five piece band, known as 'Rod the Mod.' Now 80, the Da Ya Think I'm Sexy star recently revealed, enthusiastically, of him and Ronnie on That Peter Crouch Podcast: 'We're going to do Glastonbury together." Playing together in The Faces from 1969 to 1975, when Rod left and the band split, the music he and Ronnie helped create was said to have influenced The Sex Pistols - although their concerts were either brilliant or shambolic, depending on how much alcohol they'd consumed. Ronnie, now 77, wrote in The Faces' biography: 'We were the sponsors of Holiday Inn and Marriott, and anywhere we could get banned from. We used to call them the Holiday Out. We used to check in as Fleetwood Mac; no hotel chain would have the Faces because of the damage and madness that went on... Half the audience would come back with us to the hotel. We would party with whoever was there and they'd all end up staying with us.' Touring America, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the UK, the band played more than 500 concerts. DJ John Peel was an early champion of their music and said a 1973 Faces gig at Sunderland Locarno was his all time favourite live concert. While Rod and Ronnie were the band's most famous faces, there were other notable musicians. These included other bassist Ronnie Lane, who died in 1997 after a battle with multiple sclerosis. He left in 1973 and was replaced on bass by Tetsu Yamuchi. There was also keyboardist Ian McLagan, who died in 2014 following a stroke, and drummer Kenney Jones, who joined The Who in 1978, replacing Keith Moon after his death. He also formed the band The Law with Paul Rodgers and The Jones Gang, touring the United States in 2005. In 1975, the year Rod left, Ronnie joined the Rolling Stones. Over the years, they reformed a number of times - one of them being for the encore of Rod's Wembley Stadium concert in 1986. That year, Ronnie Lane appeared on stage with the band, but by then he had multiple sclerosis and was in a wheelchair, so Bill Wyman played bass for him. At the Brit Awards in 1993, the same line-up (minus Lane) reunited once more when Rod was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award - finally coming together again in 2015 at Rod's private 70th birthday party. In a birthday speech, Rod said: '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'.' Then in 2021, Jones, Stewart and Wood announced they were recording new music for an album due to be released in 2026 - their first in over 50 years. In fact, they have been working together a fair bit, with Rod revealing recently that he was reuniting with Ronnie and Kenney Jones, 76, to work on a new documentary. Rod, who has twice been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, has won a Grammy and a Brit Award and holds the World Record for staging the largest free rock concert in history. His New Year's Eve concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1994 was attended by 3.5 million people - and he looks set for a busy 80th year, as he prepares to embark on a world tour. He said: "I enjoy going on tour now more than ever, at this ripe old age of 80. I'm doing seven concerts in Vegas and then I am around the world. It keeps me fit. You have got to be fit to do it. I would probably die if I didn't do it. I have seen so many guys that have to give up and retire and they have nothing to wake up in the morning for." Wrinkly they may be, but Rod and Ronnie are still clearly rocking it!

Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood to reunite for Glastonbury set
Rod Stewart has confirmed he will reunite with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for his set at Glastonbury Festival.
