Fans eagerly awaiting Rod Stewart’s Las Vegas concert on June 1 received unexpected news about the artist’s health. The beloved singer, known for hits like “Rhythm of My Heart,” announced that the concert would now take place on June 10.

He expressed, “I am so sorry to inform you that I’m not feeling well.” Along with the announcement of the new concert date, he reassured fans that tickets purchased for the original date would still be valid for the rescheduled performance, ensuring minimal inconvenience for attendees.
The acclaimed “All for Love” crooner has yet to disclose specific details regarding his current health concerns.

During this time, the seasoned rock artist was seen wearing a sign around his neck that read, “Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest,” emphasizing the importance of his vocal health in maintaining his career (as reported by The Independent).
Previously, Stewart had shared his aspirations for his concert tours with his fans, expressing a desire to transition from large venues to more intimate performances. The “Vagabond Heart” hitmaker indicated that he aims to create a closer connection with his audience through these smaller shows, enhancing the overall concert experience.
In a candid post on Instagram, Stewart reflected on his concert journey, stating, “This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire. I love what I do, and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.” His enthusiasm for performing remains unwavering despite his recent health issues.
Looking ahead, he mentioned plans for a Great American Songbook and Swing Fever tour in the coming years, focusing on smaller venues that allow for greater audience intimacy and interaction. This shift marks a new chapter in his illustrious career, highlighting his commitment to delivering memorable musical experiences.
While Rod Stewart navigates this challenging time, fans have taken to social media to express their support and send well wishes for his speedy recovery. One fan posted on X, “Hope you feel better soon. I traveled from the UK especially to see the show tonight. Gutted is an understatement,” showcasing the dedication of his fanbase.
Another user added, “Your true fans understand; we all hope you feel better fast. Your health is more important than a concert, which, by the way, you’re absolutely amazing.” These messages of encouragement reflect the deep connection Stewart has built with his audience throughout his remarkable career.
