Rod Stewart cancels Vegas show for health reasons ahead of Glastonbury
- Rod Stewart, 80, has cancelled his second Las Vegas show at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum Theatre to allow him to recover from the flu.
- Stewart apologised to his fans on Instagram, saying he needed more rest as per his doctor's orders.
- He is still scheduled to play on 7 and 8 June, with the first cancelled show rescheduled to 10 June, but there is no alternative date for the cancelled 5 June show.
- Stewart is set to play Glastonbury in the Legends slot later this month, an appearance he described as an "honour," despite the high costs of bringing his band from America.
- Stewart mentioned he would be scaling back world tours but has no plans to retire, expressing interest in a smaller, more intimate "Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour" in the future.
