Rock legend Rod Stewart is facing criticism from fans after canceling a concert in San Diego due to illness, then appearing at a soccer match shortly after. The 81-year-old singer abruptly canceled his performance Friday night, citing an acute upper respiratory infection that caused laryngitis.
Stewart apologized to fans and hoped to reschedule the show as part of his farewell tour. However, he soon posted a video showing him traveling to Boston to watch Scotland play Haiti in the World Cup, sparking outrage. Fans questioned how he could travel and attend the match if he was too ill to perform.
A representative for Stewart stated that the singer received treatment, including steroids, in an attempt to perform, but his voice was too weak. The explanation did little to appease disgruntled fans who expressed their disappointment on social media.
Stewart is scheduled to perform next in Colorado, leaving fans uncertain about his health and the possibility of a rescheduled San Diego show.
