Superstar entertainer Rod Stewart was forced to cancel more shows at the last minute due to his health.
The news comes after he had no choice but to cancel his 200th show in Las Vegas earlier this week due to strep throat. However, hours later, he announced more shows for next year at The Colosseum.
Rod Stewart health: ‘I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years’
In an Instagram post shared 13 hours ago (August 9), Rod, 79, informed fans that he won’t be performing tonight in Lincoln, California, as he needs to recover “from a summer strain of Covid-19.”
The Hot Legs hitmaker has also postponed a second concert this month in Stateline, Nevada.
“The Lincoln, CA concert at Thunder Valley Casino will now be on August 18 and his concert at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys in Stateline, NV concert will now be August 20. Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets as they will be honored for the rescheduled shows,” he explained.
Prior to cancelling the shows, Rod spoke to The Sun last month about his future, admitting that time is ticking.
“I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear,” he said. “We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket.”
“I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can,” Rod continued.
“I say few — probably another 15, I can do that easy mate, easy.”
