Now, he may be setting a new record for making a remarkably swift recovery from laryngitis.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday night, Stewart\u2019s San Diego concert at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre was officially canceled just 45 minutes before its schedule 7:30 p.m. start time. A sinus infection was the reason for the last-minute cancelation, according to an announcement made by Live Nation, the show\u2019s promoter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"8OYU8cVe7q\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2026\/06\/13\/rod-stewart-apologizes-for-canceled-san-diego-concert-and-hopes-to-reschedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rod Stewart apologizes for canceled San Diego concert and hopes to reschedule<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cRod Stewart apologizes for canceled San Diego concert and hopes to reschedule\u201d \u2014 San Diego Union-Tribune\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2026\/06\/13\/rod-stewart-apologizes-for-canceled-san-diego-concert-and-hopes-to-reschedule\/embed\/#?secret=hNvUeu2bib#?secret=8OYU8cVe7q\" data-secret=\"8OYU8cVe7q\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Later on Friday, a post on the 81-year-old vocal legend\u2019s social media platforms stated that Stewart \u201con the advice of his doctors and following a diagnosis of an acute upper respiratory infection that has resulted in laryngitis\u2026 is unable to take to the stage this evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still later on Friday, Stewart posted an apology for the cancellation and stated his desire to reschedule his San Diego show, which was part of his \u201cOne Last Time\u201d farewell tour. That post included a photo of him on stage in the empty amphitheater.<\/p>\n<p>So, it was more than a little surprising when Stewart posted a new video clip on Instagram Saturday morning, in which he speaks enthusiastically \u2014 and briefly sings \u2014 without a hint of laryngitis. The ailment typically takes at least one week to recover from and can last up to three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>With two of his adult sons, Aidan and Alastair, standing next to him on a private jet, Stewart says in the video, \u201cHere we are flying off to Boston to see Scotland in the World Cup.\u201d\u00a0 (Although he was born in London, Stewart\u2019s father was Scottish and the singer has long embraced his family\u2019s Scottish heritage.)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DZiKlBCty8R\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:500px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As the clip concludes, Stewart and his sons sing \u2014 to the tune of White Stripes \u201cSeven Nation Army\u201d \u2014 the words \u201cNo Scotland, no party!\u201d several times.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on background Saturday, a Stewart representative told the San Diego Union-Tribune that they had spoken Friday night with the singer\u2019s physician \u201cand what we posted was accurate\u201d about the reason for the concert\u2019s cancelation.<\/p>\n<p>The representative further explained that Stewart was administered \u201ca few rounds of steroids and treatment in the hopes of being able to perform. He was there (at the venue) but we had to text because he had no voice. Evidently, (the steroids) kicked in but too late for the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear what time Stewart was treated on Friday. His Saturday morning Instagram post made no reference to him having been unable to speak the night before because of his laryngitis, or even that he\u2019d had laryngitis. Either way, his Saturday Instagram post did not seem especially well thought out.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the comments on Instagram responding to his post cheered Stewart on and shared his enthusiasm over tonight\u2019s game. But several of the responses took him to task in the wake of Friday\u2019s canceled concert.<\/p>\n<p>In an Instagram comment, @rhinorunsandwines wrote: \u201cToo ill to perform but okay to fly across the country for soccer? Also your story lighting is all wrong; it\u2019s dark on your photo from the venue but the cancellation was in full daylight\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another response, from @grampbearkimlee questioned the timing of Stewart\u2019s Saturday Instagram post, writing: \u201cWhy does he post this after disappointing 10-15K fans? \u2026 Almost seems to be intentional. Surely does not care that his fans were truly disappointed and just 45 minutes before start time last night. I guess only the King of England cancelling on him would be equivalent?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart\u2019s next scheduled concert is June 15, at the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Colorado. His \u201cOne Last Time\u201d tour is set to conclude Aug. 15 in Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>Unless, that is, he adds a subsequent San Diego make-up date.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rod Stewart has achieved record success as one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of his generation.
