“We regret to announce that tonight’s Rod Stewart concert in Stateline, NV and his August 10 show in Lincoln, CA have been postponed, as the singer recovers from a summer strain of Covid-19,” the post read.
The shows have already been rescheduled, his team announced in the same update.
As per Billboard, Rod, 79, is set to perform at Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln, California, on August 18; two days later he’ll take the stage at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys in Stateline, Nevada, on August 20.
Ticket holders have been informed to “hold on to their tickets as they will be honoured for the rescheduled shows.”
Rod’s illness follows the singer missing the 200th show of his long-running Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace on Wednesday when he cited strep throat as the reason for his absence.
At the time, he noted on Instagram, “Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.”
Rod is best known for singing memorable tracks such as ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’, ‘Downtown Train’ and ‘You’re In My Heart’ among several others. (ANI)
