Four-Week Recovery Advisory Halts US Shows
LOS ANGELES / LAS VEGAS — Legendary singer Sir Rod Stewart has cancelled the remaining dates of his US tour after undergoing a routine medical procedure to insert a coronary stent. The 81-year-old performer was advised by doctors to take four weeks of complete rest to recuperate before returning to live stage performances.
A coronary stent is a small wire-mesh tube inserted to keep narrowed or blocked heart arteries open, restoring smooth blood flow. Representatives confirmed that the procedure went smoothly and that the veteran rocker is already making a strong recovery at home.
“I’m already feeling better and very much on the mend,” Sir Rod Stewart shared in an Instagram statement. “I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and everyone who has taken such wonderful care of me. I am deeply disappointed to miss these shows, but I look forward to getting back on stage soon.”
