Rod Stewart recovering after heart procedure, 2026 tour dates cancelled

Published 1 September 2026

Penny Lancaster has provided a health update on her husband, rock star Rod Stewart, confirming he is recovering well after undergoing a heart procedure but remains under strict medical orders that forced the cancellation of his remaining 2026 tour dates. The 81-year-old singer had a coronary stent procedure on August 11, leading to the postponement of his "One Last Time" tour across the United States and Mexico. According to Lancaster, Stewart is now back to "full speed" with his day-to-day activities. However, doctors have advised against a return to the stage this year due to the intense physical demands of his performances.
