Sir Rod Stewart, 81, has cancelled all upcoming shows on his 'One Last Time' farewell tour after undergoing a routine heart procedure. Representatives confirmed on 2026-08-12 that Stewart had a coronary stent successfully inserted and requires four weeks to recuperate.
Stewart expressed his disappointment to fans via Instagram, stating he was "already feeling better and very much on the mend" and thanking medical staff. The cancellations impact his six-date Las Vegas residency and other US and Mexico dates.
This is not the first health-related disruption for Stewart this year. In June 2026, he cancelled shows on doctors' advice, and in July 2026, he paused a performance to use an oxygen tank. He had previously performed with Ronnie Wood at Glastonbury last year.
