Rod Stewart, aged 79, had to postpone several North American tour performances due to his recovery from COVID-19 and streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat). The shows will be rescheduled and ticket holders were advised to keep their tickets for the new dates.
Stewart was close to setting a record by performing 200 times in Las Vegas, but had to cancel his 200th show due to streptococcal pharyngitis. He will continue his residency in Las Vegas next year.
Stewart has shared a message on Instagram about his health condition and the canceled shows.
The North American tour will continue until September, followed by a break before European concerts at the end of the year. Stewart has concerts planned in New Jersey and Florida before resuming his Las Vegas residency in March 2025.
In a recent interview, Stewart discussed aging, the inevitable death. The singer said he expects to he has around 15 years left to live.
The singer recently sold his back catalogue for close to $100 million.
Stewart is known for collecting high-end cars, including the iconic Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopio, which he acquired while on tour in Australia in 1977 and later had modified. After owning the car for over a quarter of a century, he sold it in 2002, and the new owner reverted it back to its original state with left-hand drive.
