Sir Rod Stewart cancels another Las Vegas show - what’s afflicting the Glastonbury Festival performer?

• Sir Rod Stewart’s battle with illness has led to a second concert cancellation.
• The music legend was set to perform as part of his Las Vegas shows later today (June 5 2025)
• However, the Glastonbury ‘legends’ slot performer has revealed that he’s not quite recovered from his affliction yet.

US fans of Sir Rod Stewart have been left wanting once again as the Glastonbury Festival ‘legends’ performer has cancelled yet another one of his Las Vegas shows overnight.

The musician, who is set to perform at Worthy Farm later this month, had already cancelled one of his shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this week (June 2 2025), but having not completely overcome his illness, the Maggie May singer revealed he would have to cancel this evening’s show now too (June 5 2025.)

Taking to social media, Stewart revealed that a case of the flu that he was battling during his first cancellation has continued to plague him, writing: “I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

“My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding,” he continued, followed by signing off the post on Instagram with a broken heart emoji.

The NHS’ guidance on recovering from the flu suggests that it can take anywhere between a few days to two weeks to fully recover from the illness, though it can lead to serious health problems such as pneumonia in vulnerable groups.

However, there is currently no indication that Stewart will have to forgo his Glastonbury set, when he joins up with members of the iconic Small Faces as they play the Pyramid Stage on June 29 2025 at 3:45pm
