Rod Stewart Cancels Remainder of Farewell Tour After Coronary Stent Procedure

Doctors have advised a four-week recovery to protect Stewart’s health before any return to live shows.

Overview

  • Stewart, who announced the update on his Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 11, successfully underwent a routine coronary stent procedure and his team says he is recovering and back to normal daily activities.
  • On doctors’ advice Stewart will take four weeks off, a decision that has led to the cancellation of all remaining 2026 North American and Mexico One Last Time dates.
  • Affected appearances include a six-night residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas plus scheduled shows in Ohio, Kansas City, Minnesota, Colorado and several dates in Mexico, with promoters and venues set to provide details on refunds or rescheduling.
  • The announcement follows a string of 2026 health disruptions — including May sinus and June respiratory problems, a June onstage oxygen incident in Utah, and recent last-minute postponements in Cincinnati and Cleveland.
  • Stewart’s team and family have publicly reassured fans, his wife Penny Lancaster shared a supportive Instagram post, and the cancellations raise questions about whether the rocker will scale back large tours in future years.
