Rod Stewart, 81, was in the middle of his North American tour, but after going through a medical procedure last week, he has put everything on hold.
“Following further medical evaluation, Sir Rod Stewart has successfully undergone a routine coronary stent procedure,” his people wrote in a statement. “Doctors are pleased with his recovery, and Rod is doing very well and has returned to his normal daily activities. On the advice of his doctors, he will take the next four weeks to recuperate and regain full fitness before returning to the stage. Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to continue his current tour dates.”
The singer added, “I’m already feeling better and very much on the mend. I want to thank the doctors, nurses and everyone who has taken such wonderful care of me. I’m deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down, but I look forward to getting back on stage and having a good time with you all again soon.”
Hopefully, after he recuperates, he will be back on the road and delighting audiences of all ages.
