Sir Rod Stewart postpones show to undergo 'minor medical procedure'

Sir Rod Stewart postponed a show in Ohio to undergo a “minor medical procedure” that “required prompt attention,” according to a statement shared as his health issue surfaced hours before he was due to perform in Cincinnati on August 9. The 81-year-old singer said rescheduling is under way, with additional information promised on Tuesday, and that previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date. Stewart is expected to return at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland on Tuesday night (11.08.26). The news follows earlier criticism after he attended a soccer match during the 2026 FIFA World Cup the day after canceling a California concert due to laryngitis.
