I\u2019m deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down, but I look forward to getting back on stage and having a good time with you all again soon.\u201d<\/p>\n While the respective statements didn\u2019t mention exactly how many performances Stewart will miss, the rocker still had 15 shows scheduled between now and mid-September, including stops in Cleveland, Kansas City and an extended stay in Las Vegas. Given the four week timeline that was mentioned, it seems safe to assume that all of these dates will now be either postponed or canceled. According to Stewart\u2019s representatives, \u201cinformation regarding affected performances will be communicated by the respective promoters and venues.\u201d<\/p>\n This is just the latest setback for Stewart, who has battled several health issues this year. In May, the 81-year-old canceled some of his Las Vegas residency concerts and was placed on vocal rest because of a sinus infection. He later canceled an additional performance in San Diego due to laryngitis and another sinus infection. In June, the singer required an oxygen tank after nearly fainting<\/a> onstage during\u00a0a performance\u00a0in Utah. More recently, he canceled a show scheduled for Sunday, August 9 in Cincinnati, citing \u201can unforeseen but minor medical procedure that required prompt attention.\u201d<\/p>\n From soulful early records to that huge disco hit to five volumes of the Great American Songbook, there isn’t a genre he hasn’t tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Michael Gallucci<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow Many Concerts Is Rod Stewart Canceling?<\/h3>\n
