Rod Stewart Cancels Remaining Tour Dates After Coronary Stent Procedure

Doctors have advised four weeks of recovery, prompting the postponement or cancellation of concerts including a planned Las Vegas residency.

Overview

  • Stewart postponed his Riverbend Music Center show in Cincinnati on Aug. 9 and Cleveland’s Rocket Arena canceled the next night after doctors ordered monitoring and rest.
  • His representatives confirmed he successfully underwent a routine coronary stent procedure and said doctors are pleased with his recovery.
  • On medical advice Stewart will take four weeks to recuperate and will not perform the remaining scheduled dates through early September.
  • Venues and promoters say they are working on rescheduled dates and that previously purchased tickets will be honored or refunded at point of purchase.
  • The decision follows several health setbacks this year, including vocal illness and an onstage oxygen incident, and it will affect fans, promoters and a six-night Caesars Palace residency this month.
