Overview
- Stewart cancelled a sold‑out California concert on medical advice after doctors diagnosed an acute upper respiratory infection that developed into laryngitis and left him unable to sing.
- Less than 24 hours after the last‑minute cancellation he flew to Boston with his sons to watch Scotland at the World Cup, a move he later acknowledged created poor optics and apologized for to fans.
- Stewart told talkSPORT he went to keep a long‑standing promise to his sons and said he accepts the backlash, while his representatives maintain the cancellation followed medical treatment aimed at saving the show.
- Footage from a later U.S. concert showed Stewart receiving onstage oxygen and telling the crowd he had 'nearly f***ing fainted,' heightening public questions about his capacity to complete an ongoing farewell tour.
- Promoters and ticketing platforms are processing refunds and working on rescheduled dates as the One Last Time tour continues under close medical monitoring and scrutiny because of Stewart’s age and the tour’s finality.
