Rod Stewart has called off two shows as he recovers from Covid-19.
The music legend confirmed this news in a statement shared online, having already called off his 200th residency celebration in Las Vegas.
Stewart said that he is “absolutely gutted” to call off this show, telling his fans that he is “desperately sorry”.
“Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me”, Stewart said. “I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long”.
“My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully we’ll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there”.
Rod Stewart Calls Off Further Shows
Now, Stewart has since confirmed that his illness was a symptom of Covid-19, which has led to two further shows being called off.
The shows affected were Stateline, Nevada on August 9, and Lincoln, California on August 10.
Both dates have since been rescheduled, with previously purchased tickets being honoured for these new dates.
In a statement Rod Stewart’s team confirmed the shows’ cancellations and his diagnosis.
“We regret to announce that tonight’s Rod Stewart concert in Stateline, NV and his August 10 show in Lincoln, CA have been postponed as the singer recovers from a summer strain of COVID-19″, they said.
“The Lincoln, CA concert at Thunder Valley Casino will now be on August 18, and his concert at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harvey’s in Stateline, NV concert will now be August 20. Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets as they will be honoured for the rescheduled shows”.
