British singer Rod Stewart, 81, has canceled the remaining dates of his ‘One Last Time’ farewell tour following a routine coronary stent procedure. The medical intervention was successful, and Stewart has reportedly returned to his normal daily activities, though doctors have advised a four-week period of rest for full recovery.

The cancellations impact several upcoming performances through September 3, including a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and scheduled concerts in Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City. These cancellations follow previous health-related postponements and cancellations in Cincinnati and Cleveland.

In statements regarding his condition, Stewart expressed disappointment but noted he is ‘very much on the mend’ and thanked his medical team for their care.

Following the procedure, Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster, clarified that the decision to cancel the tour was made based on medical advice to manage risk factors. She noted that Stewart’s high-energy performance style, which involves intense physical activity for nearly two hours, necessitates a period of gradual recovery. While the current tour dates in the United States and Mexico are canceled, Stewart is expected to return for U.S. tour dates next year.
