Sir Rod Stewart Cancels California Gig Hours Before Show After Falling Ill
- On Friday, Sir Rod Stewart canceled his concert at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, California, after doctors diagnosed him with an acute upper respiratory infection resulting in laryngitis.
- The 81-year-old musician, currently on his 'One Last Time' tour, also scrapped two Las Vegas residency performances last month following medical advice to rest his voice while recovering from a sinus infection.
- "I'm very disappointed and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience to my fans," Stewart wrote on Instagram, adding that while he was "feeling much better," his voice remained insufficient to perform.
- Despite the cancellation, Stewart traveled to Boston to support Scotland in the World Cup match against Haiti, telling fans, "Here we are flying off to Boston to see Scotland in the World Cup."
- The singer is scheduled to resume his tour on Monday, June 15, at the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Colorado, with fans hoping for no further interruptions to his performance schedule.
