Rod Stewart cancels second Las Vegas concert due to ill health

Rod Stewart has cancelled his second concert in Las Vegas while he recovers from a bout of flu.

The Maggie May rocker dropped out of his performance in Sin City a few hours before taking to the stage on Sunday due to ill health and has now cancelled his upcoming show on Thursday to give him more time to recover.

Explaining the reason for the decision, the 80-year-old wrote on Instagram, "I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding (heartbroken emoji)."

Stewart's latest statement offers more details about his condition as his original message to fans simply stated that he was "not feeling well".

His Sunday show was rescheduled to 10 June, however, the Thursday concert appears to be cancelled.

The 10 June date marks the end of Stewart's current run in Las Vegas, although he will be back for six more performances in September and October. He now has three more gigs left of his current The Encore Shows stint, with the next show set for Saturday.

Later this month, the Sailing hitmaker will take to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival to perform in the coveted legends slot.

Stewart will be joined by his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood during his performance on 29 June.

After Glastonbury, the musician will travel around the U.S. on his One Last Time tour in July and August.

He previously revealed in November that the trek would be "the end of large-scale world tours" as he'd prefer to perform in more intimate venues. He insisted he has "no desire" to retire from live performances.
