Rod Stewart was scheduled to bring his Las Vegas residency last night, but...he had to cancel.
He says, “I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration. Many people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I’m absolutely gutted.
“I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully we’ll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there.”
While this was to be the finale of his 13-year residency, he decided to mount a new show next year, saying, "Vegas, I’m having too much fun for this to end so we are coming back for an encore! Don’t miss The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace March 12th to the 22nd and May 29th to June 8th. Tickets on sale Monday at 12pm Central!"
In addition to his hits, the new residency will also include "surprises from the [Great American] songbook, swing (his latest album, Swing Fever) … deep cuts, and stunning new production elements.”
The exact dates are as follows: March 12th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 21st, and 22nd, and May 29th, 31st, June 1st, 5th, 7th and 8th.
