Ahead of Glastonbury, Rod Stewart cancels two concerts because of flu


Eighty-year-old singer has another health setback, following cancelled concerts earlier this year

As he considers one of the biggest gigs of his life later this month, playing to what is likely to be more than 100,000 people at Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage, Stewart cancelled performances at the Colosseum theatre in Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. Now Stewart has cancelled a Thursday concert, too, apologising to fans and explaining: “My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. He is set to perform the Sunday teatime “legends” slot at Glastonbury, made even more nostalgic and crowd pleasing this year as it will be followed by Nile Rodgers & Chic.
