Rod Stewart show postponed as he undergoes ‘minor medical procedure’

Rod Stewart postponed a show on his One Last Time tour after needing what the venue described as a “minor medical procedure”.

The 81-year-old singer had been due to perform at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center on Sunday, with Richard Marx also on the bill. Riverbend said the unforeseen procedure had required prompt attention.

The latest interruption comes after Rod cancelled a June concert shortly before he was due on stage. At the time, he said treatment had left him feeling better but his voice had not recovered enough for him to perform.

Fans offered support to Rod and expressed some concern.

One person commented on the announcement post: “Sad! We got all the way and was ready to park. Postponed. He’s great but probably needs to slow down.”

Another wrote: “Hope he is ok.”

Someone else said: “Sending prayers Rod Stewart.”

Previous changes to Rod’s tour

The postponement follows several health-related changes to Rod’s live schedule this year.

In May, two Las Vegas performances were cancelled on his doctor’s advice. Rod later told fans he was on vocal rest while recovering from a sinus infection and said he hoped to see them at another show.

Later that month, Rod was given oxygen during a concert after saying he had nearly fainted. Footage obtained by TMZ showed members of his team assisting him with an oxygen tank and a cold compress.

For now, Cincinnati ticket holders must wait for confirmation of the replacement date. The venue’s update indicates that Rod expects to return to the city following his recovery.
