Rod Stewart Cancels Second Las Vegas Concert on Doctor's Orders Amid Flu Battle

Legendary rocker Rod Stewart has hit a sour note this week, canceling yet another performance at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on doctor’s orders. The 80-year-old "Forever Young" icon shared with fans that he’s battling the flu and needs more rest, expressing his regret over missing the June 5th show.

Just days earlier, Stewart had to reschedule a Sunday performance to June 10th, assuring ticket holders that their passes would remain valid. "I’m not feeling well," he admitted online, breaking the news mere hours before showtime.

This isn’t the first hiccup for the "Maggie May" singer, who postponed two shows last August after canceling his milestone 200th Vegas residency performance due to illness. Despite these setbacks, Stewart’s spirit remains unbroken. Late last year, he announced a shift away from large-scale world tours, though retirement is nowhere on his radar. "I love what I do, and I do what I love," he declared, humorously noting his fitness at 79 with a full head of hair and a spry 100-meter dash.

Looking ahead, Stewart hinted at a pivot to more intimate venues, teasing a potential Great American Songbook and Swing Fever tour. Yet, in true rockstar fashion, he left room for spontaneity, signing off as "The Ambiguous Sir Rod Stewart." Here’s hoping a speedy recovery gets this legend back to belting out classics soon!
