Sir Rod Stewart was “absolutely gutted” to cancel his 200th residency show due to illness on Wednesday (07.08.24).

 

The 79-year-old rocker has been performing his ‘Rod Stewart: The Hits’ concerts at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace since 2011 but was forced to pull out of the milestone gig just hours before he was due on stage after contracting strep throat, a bacterial infection.

 

Rod wrote on Instagram: “I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration.

 

“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. Thankfully we’ll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there.”

 

The concert had been due to be the final night of the lengthy residency, but shortly before it was cancelled, the ‘Maggie May’ hitmaker announced a string of new dates for next spring.
