Lancaster Says Rod Stewart Will 'Come Back Stronger'
Lancaster said the 81-year-old singer is recovering well after a coronary stent procedure and is expected back for US dates next year.
Penny Lancaster announced that her husband Sir Rod Stewart underwent a successful coronary stent procedure, forcing cancellation of his remaining 2026 tour dates across Ohio, Illinois, Mexico, and Las Vegas.
Doctors ordered the 81-year-old singer to take four weeks off to recover; Lancaster explained she had to clarify to medical staff that Stewart does not simply sit during his high-energy shows.
Stewart typically performs at "100 miles an hour" with four different costume changes, running on stage for nearly two hours; he remains under strict workout instructions during recovery.
Lancaster said the singer will "come back stronger than ever" and has a "new lease of life," appreciating the "wonderful well wishes and support" from fans worldwide.
Stewart is expected to return for concert dates in the US next year, as he "can't wait to see his fans again" following his successful recovery.
