Singer Rod Stewart, 81, has postponed a concert in Cincinnati due to an "unforeseen but minor medical procedure that required prompt attention." The performance at the Riverbend Music Center was scheduled for Sunday as part of his "One Last Time" tour.
Rescheduling for the Cincinnati concert is underway, with additional information expected Tuesday. All previously purchased tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date. Stewart's representatives indicated he is expected to recover quickly and looks forward to returning to the city.
This is not the first time Stewart's tour has faced cancellations this year. Earlier in the year, he canceled two Las Vegas concerts on doctor's orders due to a sinus infection, apologizing to fans via social media. He was on vocal rest during that period but anticipated returning to the stage soon after.
In June, Stewart also canceled a show in Chula Vista hours before it was set to begin, stating his voice was not ready despite feeling better after treatment. He expressed disappointment and apologized for the inconvenience, vowing to reschedule.
Later that same month, Stewart reportedly "nearly fainted" mid-show and required an oxygen tank. Video footage showed him leaning on equipment while continuing to perform before receiving backstage assistance, including oxygen and a cold compress. He acknowledged he had "nearly fainted" but declared, "The show must go on."
