Sir Rod Stewart, the 81-year-old singer, has canceled two live shows within a week on medical grounds. He postponed a performance in Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday due to an unforeseen but minor medical procedure requiring prompt attention. The venue stated rescheduling is underway and Stewart is expected to make a quick recovery. He subsequently canceled a show in Cleveland, Ohio on Tuesday after doctors advised him to rest for at least 48 hours. Stewart is currently on his 'One Last Time' tour across Europe and the US. In 2024, he stated he has no desire to retire but indicated this tour would likely end large-scale world tours. This follows an incident in June where he paused a performance in Utah to receive oxygen.
