Sir Rod Stewart cancelled his concert in Las Vegas on Sunday due to health issues, just weeks before he is due to perform at Glastonbury.
The legendary rocker, 80, was forced to reschedule his residency gig at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and set a new date for June 10.
The Maggie May singer said on Instagram: “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.”
Stewart was put on vocal rest last month amid his epic One Last Time world tour, in which he will play 40 shows before the end of the year.
He was seen walking around with a sign around his neck that read, “Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest,” after his concert in Milan.
Stewart also had to cancel three shows in January - in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Lincoln, California - after being diagnosed with strep throat and then testing positive for Covid.
He was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2001 after a routine CAT scan, but he had the tumour removed, later making a full recovery.
Meanwhile, in just 25 days’ time, the rockstar will hit Worthy Farm for Glastonbury and reunite with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood.
The 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 Stewart 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, Stewart said: “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 added: “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.”
