Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Rod Stewart has cancelled the remaining US and Mexico dates on his “One Last Time Tour” after undergoing a routine coronary stent procedure. The singer will take four weeks away from performing on doctors’ advice, despite the operation being successful and his recovery reportedly progressing well.
The cancelled run included concerts scheduled through August and September, including six “The Encore Shows” dates at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Stewart’s Instagram statement said he had returned to normal daily activities but needed time to regain full fitness before returning to the stage; the decision followed a separate June cancellation in San Diego due to sinus infection and laryngitis.

Rod Stewart, 81, is a British singer and rock star known for hits spanning decades, currently on what has been billed as a farewell run of shows, the "One Last Time Tour." He recently underwent a coronary stent procedure, a routine operation used to open a narrowed or blocked blood vessel to the heart and improve blood flow.
The surgery has forced him to cancel his remaining tour dates in the US and Mexico, including a residency in Las Vegas, while he takes time to recover. This matters to fans and concert organisers because it affects a string of already-scheduled shows, and it comes soon after he pulled out of an earlier gig in June for unrelated health reasons, adding to questions about his ability to keep up his current touring schedule.
