Salt Lake City, UT, August 12, 2026 —
Rock and roll icon Rod Stewart has announced the cancellation of the remaining dates for his 2026 tour. The decision comes after the artist underwent a routine coronary stent procedure. This medical intervention follows a recent on-stage incident during a performance in Utah, where Stewart experienced a health scare attributed to the high altitude and a pre-existing respiratory infection.
During the Utah concert, the legendary singer reportedly nearly fainted and required the administration of oxygen while on stage. The combination of the high altitude of the performance location and a prior respiratory infection are cited as contributing factors to the episode.
As a result of the coronary stent procedure and the on-stage incident, Stewart’s management confirmed the cancellation of all subsequent 2026 tour engagements. The affected dates include scheduled performances in the Midwest region of the United States, as well as shows planned in Mexico and Las Vegas.
Details regarding the specific dates and venues impacted by the cancellations were not immediately available. Information concerning potential rescheduling or refunds for ticket holders is also expected to be released by the tour promoters.
