Rod Stewart Cancels Another Las Vegas Show Due to Illness— Fans Share Emotional Messages

Fans are voicing concern after legendary rocker Rod Stewart canceled another performance at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The singer openly cited several ongoing health issues. The 79-year-old singer, beloved for his energetic performances and iconic voice, announced the cancellation of his June 5 show via social media. He blamed a lingering flu and a doctor’s recommendation for additional rest.

“I’m awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace,” Stewart wrote. “My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding.”

This marks the second time in recent days that Stewart has been forced to pull out of a scheduled show. Earlier this week, he also backed out of a performance just hours before taking the stage, writing, “I am sorry to inform you that I’m not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10. Your tickets will be valid for the new date.”

Fans Flood Social Media With Support

The outpouring of love from fans has been immediate and heartfelt. One supporter commented, “Take care Sir Roderick and have a great recovery! I’m sending you positive vibes 🤙💚🍀.” Another expressed the emotional toll of the last-minute cancellation, writing, “So sad to read this – wishing you a speedy recovery – here in Vegas having flown in yesterday so the disappointment is immense – but can’t be helped 😢😢.”

“Take all the time your doctor advises you to do to recuperate, your health comes first,” one fan shared, echoing the sentiments of many who emphasized Stewart’s well-being over any show.

Rod Stewart Speaks on His Future and Health Journey

Despite the illness, Stewart remains optimistic and determined to keep performing, just on a more manageable scale. He recently told fans, “This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire. I love what I do, and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.”

According to several outlets, the iconic British singer maintains a rigorous wellness routine that includes gym workouts, pool time, and running. He’s worked with the same personal trainer for over 38 years, helping him stay in shape despite his age and health battles.

Stewart’s health journey hasn’t been without challenges. In May 2000, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent surgery. In 2017, he faced another scare after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, which he successfully overcame following treatment.

While fans are understandably disappointed by the recent cancellations, the overwhelming sentiment remains one of love and encouragement. Several understand and wish well to the singer, as he is prioritizing his health. As one fan perfectly summed it up, “The show can wait. You’ve given us decades of magic—now take the time you need.”
