Rod Stewart cancels four weeks of tour dates after stent procedure
Rod Stewart is a very famous singer.
He is 81 years old.
He is going on a farewell tour called One Last Time.
Recently, he had a small medical procedure on his heart called a stent procedure.
His doctors told him he needs to rest and recover.
So he cancelled his concerts for the next four weeks.
That means fans in Cleveland and Las Vegas won't see him for a while.
His concert in Cincinnati was also moved to a later date.
Earlier in the summer, he had some other health problems.
He nearly fainted during a show in Utah and needed oxygen.
Another show in San Diego was cancelled too.
He says he is already feeling better and is sorry to let his fans down.
Rod Stewart cancelled his 'One Last Time' farewell tour concerts for four weeks to recover from a routine coronary stent procedure.
The Cleveland show at Rocket Arena on August 11 was cancelled on doctors' orders, two days after his Cincinnati show was postponed.
The Cincinnati concert at Riverbend Music Center was postponed on August 9 because Stewart needed prompt attention for an unforeseen but minor medical procedure.
Six shows in his Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace are among those affected by the hiatus.
Earlier this summer, Stewart paused a concert in West Valley City, Utah after nearly fainting, and his San Diego show was cancelled on June 12 due to an acute upper respiratory infection and laryngitis.
