Rod Stewart cancels gigs after heart surgery
Previously purchased tickets will be honored as rescheduling begins after Stewart underwent a minor medical procedure, organizers said.
Rod Stewart postponed his concert at Cincinnati's Riverbend Music Center due to a 'minor medical procedure,' with rescheduling updates expected on Tuesday.
The cancellation interrupts Stewart's 'One Last Time' tour, billed as his final large-scale concert series, though organizers confirmed previously purchased tickets will be honored for rescheduled dates.
Health issues have plagued the tour previously: on June 19 in West Valley City, Utah, Stewart required oxygen mid-performance, and on June 12 he canceled a San Diego show citing 'acute upper respiratory infection.'
Despite the postponement, Stewart's next performance remains scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, as he continues touring North America through mid-September.
In May, Stewart indicated his current tour and 2027 U.K. dates could end his touring career, telling TalkSPORT, 'I'll have to do something new and come on your show more often.
The promoter Ocesa reported, through her social networks, that singer Rod Stewart’s concerts scheduled in Monterrey on September 9, Guadalajara on September 11 and in the Mexican capital on September 13 “have been cancelled, because the artist will have to take a period of recovery on the recommendation of his doctors.”
