Rod Stewart Postpones Las Vegas Show Due to Illness

Rod Stewart postpones his performance at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace four hours before showtime due to an unnamed illness.

Sir Rod Stewart called in sick just four hours before he was scheduled to hit the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Sunday night. The 80-year-old rock and roll legend posted to his Instagram Stories to give fans the news, while Caesars Palace also confirmed the postponement.

“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,” wrote Stewart. “Your tickets will be valid for the new date.”

Later this month, the legendary artist is slated to perform at Glastonbury as one of the oldest artists to play the UK festival. He has confirmed the show will feature a Faces reunion with Ronnie Wood. Throughout the summer, Stewart will also perform more shows across North America for his One Last Time World Tour, and will continue with his 200-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace through the fall.

Stewart was forced to cancel a few shows in Las Vegas last summer due to a combination of strep throat and COVID. Last week, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 American Music Awards.

“I love what I do, and I do what I love,” Stewart said in an Instagram post last year. “I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.”

“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,” he said, speaking on his One Last Time farewell tour. “I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next—smaller venues and more intimacy,” Stewart explained. “But then again, I may not.”
