Rod Stewart Cancels Shows for Medical Procedure, Takes Four-Week Recovery Break
Rod Stewart has cancelled his Cleveland concert and postponed his Cincinnati show due to a minor medical procedure, later revealed as a routine coronary stent operation. His team confirmed the procedure went well, and he is recovering under medical supervision. On doctors' advice, Stewart will take four weeks off from his farewell tour to recuperate before resuming performances. Earlier this summer, he faced health issues during a concert but continued performing after receiving oxygen.
