Rod Stewart Cancels Six US Concerts Due to Illness Ahead of Glastonbury

Sir Rod Stewart, the 80-year-old music legend, has cancelled or rescheduled six concerts in the US due to flu as he recovers ahead of his highly anticipated Glastonbury Festival performance on June 29. The cancellations include four shows in Las Vegas and Stateline, Nevada, and two in California, which he plans to reschedule. Despite his illness, Stewart remains committed to his Glastonbury 'legends' slot on the Pyramid Stage and has requested an additional 15 minutes to his allotted hour and 15 minutes set time, citing his usual two-hour performances. Stewart will reunite with former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for the festival, marking his return since headlining in 2002. This year marks the end of Stewart's large-scale world tours, with his future performances expected to be at more intimate venues. Stewart expressed his devastation and apologized to fans on Instagram, assuring them he will be back on stage soon.
