Rod Stewart Retiring From Touring After More than 6 Decades

The 81-year-old singer said health challenges and canceled shows led him to end a touring career that began more than 60 years ago.

  • Legendary singer Sir Rod Stewart announced The Final Encore Tour on Monday, marking his retirement from touring after more than six decades of performing.
  • The 81-year-old performer's decision follows a coronary stent procedure that forced him to cancel portions of his previous "One Last Time" farewell tour earlier this year.
  • Stewart's farewell run kicks off April 23 at Dublin's 3Arena, visiting London, Amsterdam, and Berlin before concluding July 24 at Hannover's ZAG Arena.
  • Penny Lancaster revealed Stewart suffered an "underlying heart issue," but doctors detected a slight blockage in time, allowing him to prepare for his final performances.
  • Reflecting on his career, Stewart said he has been singing since age 19 and promised fans "one hell of a show" as his final farewell.
