Rod Stewart canceled two shows Friday after contracting Covid-19.
The 79-year-old “Maggie May” singer’s management revealed the news on his Instagram, writing, “We regret to announce that tonight’s Rod Stewart’s concert in Stateline, NV and his August 10 concert in Lincoln, CA have been postponed as the singer recovers from a summer strain of COVID-19.”
Ticketholders should eep their existing tickets, as they will be honored for the rescheduled shows.
The California show, which was scheduled to take place at the Thunder Valley Casino, is now rescheduled for Aug. 18, while the Nevada concert is set for Aug. 20.
Stewart canceled his Aug. 7 show for his Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace earlier this week after getting sick with strep throat.
It would have been his residency’s 200th show.
“Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me,” he wrote in a post. “I’m absolutely gutted.”
“I’ve been looking forward to his concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.”
He confirmed that he will be back to perform at The Colosseum in 2025.
Stewart has mused about the inevitable end recently.
“I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear,” he said to the US Sun. “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,” he added.
“I say few — probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.”
Stewart’s North American tour has a handful of shows scheduled through September.
