Due to a sudden surgery, Rod Stewart has canceled the rest of the tour, saying, "I'm sorry I disappointed the fans".

British rock legend Rod Stewart has canceled the remainder of his North American tour following a sudden medical procedure, according to his spokesperson. The 81-year-old singer underwent a routine coronary stent implantation and is recovering well, having already returned to daily activities. However, doctors have advised him to take a four-week break before resuming live performances. As a result, all upcoming concerts scheduled for the next few weeks have been postponed or canceled. Stewart expressed regret over the decision in a statement shared with fans. He said he feels better and that recovery is progressing positively. “I am deeply disappointed that I must miss these shows and sorry to have disappointed my fans,” he stated. “I look forward to returning to the stage soon and reuniting with everyone again.” His current tour, titled One Last Time Tour, began in 2024 and was set to continue through several major cities in the United States and Mexico. Upcoming dates included performances in Kansas City, followed by planned shows in Las Vegas, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and Mexico. All of these have now been canceled or delayed pending further medical advice. This is not the first time Stewart’s health has affected his concert schedule this year. Earlier in August, he had to postpone a show in Cincinnati due to an unexpected but minor medical procedure. In June, he canceled several concerts after being diagnosed with an acute upper respiratory infection that caused laryngitis, forcing the postponement of two shows in Las Vegas and one in San Diego. Public attention was drawn to a performance in Utah during which Stewart briefly paused his set to use an oxygen tank. Despite these challenges, he has indicated that his recovery is proceeding as planned and that he hopes to return to the stage soon. The decision comes amid ongoing concerns about the health of aging musicians who frequently perform under physically demanding conditions. Stewart, known for his dynamic stage presence and long career spanning more than five decades, has faced similar issues in recent years. His previous health-related cancellations have raised questions among fans and industry insiders about the sustainability of such rigorous touring schedules for older artists. Medical experts suggest that while coronary procedures are common and generally safe, they require adequate rest and monitoring to prevent complications. Doctors often recommend avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks post-surgery to ensure proper healing. Stewart's team has emphasized that his condition is stable and that he is following medical guidance strictly. Fans have responded with understanding and support, expressing hope for his swift recovery. Social media platforms have seen numerous messages from admirers wishing him well and looking forward to future performances. Meanwhile, ticket holders for the canceled shows are likely to receive refunds or options to transfer their tickets to rescheduled dates once confirmed. The postponement affects multiple venues and organizers across the U.S., including the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium, the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and various locations in Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and Mexico. Organizers have yet to announce specific rescheduling dates but are expected to provide updates in the coming weeks. Fans are advised to check official channels for further information regarding potential new dates. Stewart’s management has not commented on whether the tour will resume later in the year or if there might be changes to the overall itinerary. For now, the focus remains on his health and ensuring a full recovery before considering any future performances. His representatives have reiterated that he is grateful for the continued support of his audience and looks forward to reconnecting with them once he is ready.
