Rod Stewart Cancels Las Vegas Show Due to Illness

Rod Stewart, the legendary 80-year-old singer known for hits like "Maggie May," announced a last-minute cancellation of his scheduled performance at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Just hours before he was set to take the stage on June 1, Stewart informed fans via Instagram that he was unwell.

"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," he wrote, assuring ticket holders that their tickets would remain valid for the new date.

He emphasized his passion for music, noting, "I love what I do, and I do what I love." At 79, he humorously mentioned his fitness level, claiming he could run 100 meters in 18 seconds.
