Rod Stewart is a British singer whose career has spanned more than six decades. He became widely known in the late 1960s and 1970s with the rock band Faces and as a solo artist, with songs including Maggie May, Sailing and Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?
A coronary stent is a small tube placed in a narrowed heart artery to help blood flow more freely. The procedure is commonly used to treat coronary heart disease, which occurs when arteries supplying the heart become narrowed or blocked.
The cancelled dates were part of Stewart’s One Last Time tour, billed as a farewell to large-scale touring in North America. He has continued to perform into his eighties, while suggesting he may still make selected appearances and plans further shows in the UK.
