THE STAR WAS SET TO PERFORM IN LAS VEGAS ON MONDAY NIGHT 14:20, 02 Jun 2025 Rod Stewart has issued a statement after a last-minute gig cancellation in Las Vegas - just weeks before the rock
star is due to perform at Glastonbury. Just last week, Sir Rod Stewart announced he will be sharing the stage with a special guest during his Glastonbury set at this year's festival. In
just a few weeks, tens of thousands of people are set to descend on Somerset's Worthy Farm as Glastonbury returns for another year. Headlining the Pyramid Stage this year are Olivia
Rodrigo, Neil Young and the 1975, while other acts performing across the weekend include Charli XCX, Biffy Clyro, Alanis Morissette, Noah Kahan, Wolf Alice, Wet Leg and Scissor Sisters. Sir
Rod is set to play in the coveted Sunday tea-time legends slot, which has previously seen the likes of Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton and Diana Ross take to the stage. But it has been revealed
that Sir Rod has had to pull out of his gig in Las Vegas tonight, June 2, just hours before he's due on stage. The 80-year-old rocker was due to play for fans in Las Vegas tonight but
has had to cancel due to ill health. Sharing to his Instagram story, Sir Rod said: "I am sorry to inform you that I'm not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at
Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10. Your tickets will be valid for the new date. Sir Rod." Article continues below Last summer, Sir Rod was forced to cancel a string of tour
dates including his milestone 200th Las Vegas residency show as he made a sad health admission. Rod's team said they 'regretted to announce' that Rod would have to bow out as
he is still 'recovering from a summer strain of Covid-19'. The singer was set to bring his The Hits show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to a close after performing at the
venue across the last 13 years. However, Sir Rod withdrew hours before what was meant to be his last show at the venue, saying he was "desperately sorry". He added: "Most
people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I'm absolutely gutted. I've been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this
has caused. Thankfully we'll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there." According to the NHS, a strep infection can mean patients having a sore throat, a rash,
nausea and vomiting and muscle aches. It is often not a serious illness and can be treated with antibiotics. The star's latest health blow comes after he said he was in the prime of his
performing career and couldn't see himself retiring in a brand new interview. Sir Rod also confirmed he will reunite with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for his set at
Glastonbury Festival. Article continues below While appearing on The Peter Crouch Podcast, Sir Rod shared the news that Wood will be joining him for his set at Worthy Farm. Crouch asked Sir
Rod: “Do you keep in touch with Sir Elton John, Rolling Stones, people in music? Are you still pals?” He replied quickly, “Not really. Woodie, I do a lot, just recently because we’re going
to do Glastonbury together.”
