Rod Stewart Delays Concerts to Heal Vocal Strain

Rod Stewart has postponed two concerts to comply with his doctor’s recommendations. The medical advice is to rest his voice due to vocal issues.

Stewart’s performances on June 15 and 16 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, have been rescheduled for September 2 and 3, 2027. The venue shared this information through its social media platforms.

Following examinations at Colorado Voice Clinic this afternoon, Dr. David Opperman has prescribed vocal rest for Rod Stewart,” the post states. “Evaluation revealed significant inflammation and strain of the vocal folds, making it impossible for him to safely perform without the risk of further injury and potential long-term damage to his voice.

The message also mentions, “Rod is deeply disappointed and sincerely apologizes to his fans for this inconvenience. He looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as he is medically cleared.”

Fans expressed understanding of the situation since performing is impossible if he cannot sing. However, some were upset about the timing of the announcement, which was made close to the event. A fan commented on X, “Why wait an hour before the show? Bartenders and other staff had been called off hours ago? Unacceptable.”

This situation is not new for Stewart. He had to cancel a San Diego performance on April 12 due to an acute upper respiratory infection, which led to laryngitis.

Looking ahead, Stewart’s next concert is set for June 19 in West Valley City, Utah. As of now, this event is still scheduled, but ticket holders should watch for any updates. The hope is that his voice will be fully recovered, allowing him to perform.
