Rod Stewart Postpones Concert Hours Before Showtime, Cites “Mechanical Fault”
Rod Stewart postponed his concert at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Canada, just hours before he was due on stage on Tuesday, citing a mechanical fault with his aircraft's landing gear. The 81-year-old singer said via an Instagram Stories statement that he was "deeply disappointed" and apologised to fans for the inconvenience caused by the last-minute change to his ongoing "One Last Time" farewell tour.
Stewart confirmed the show would be rescheduled to 4 March 2027, with all previously purchased tickets honoured for the new date. The cancellation comes just weeks after he was forced to pull out of another performance in June due to laryngitis, and follows recent comments in which he hinted at retirement, telling TalkSport that his forthcoming UK tour and O2 shows would likely be his last.
