Rod Stewart Cancels String Of US Gigs As He Recovers From Illness Ahead Of Glastonbury Slot


The 80-year-old rocker has cancelled four concerts and rescheduled two others.

The website reports that Stewart previously announced his intention to stop playing “large-scale world tours” at the end of this year, but was “proud, ready and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury.” It adds that Sir Rod will become the first person to have been given legends billing having headlined the festival, following his previous appearance there in 2002 alongside Coldplay and Stereophonics. Stewart was the first act confirmed for this year’s festival, and is planning to play for an hour and a quarter on the Pyramid Stage – his slot expected to draw a crowd of up to 100,000.
