Sir Rod Stewart has been forced to cancel an upcoming performance in Australia due to a viral throat infection. The 78-year-old was due to play in the city of Geelong alongside his support acts Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens, as part of his ongoing A Day On The Green tour.
However, a post on Instagram just six hours before the show was meant to begin explained that it wouldn't go ahead and that rescheduling arrangements would be made "early next week". He later confirmed that this was down to an infection meaning his throat is "too irritated" to sing.
The Mirror reports that he shared his news on social media on Saturday, March 18, saying: "Live Nation and Roundhouse Entertainment regret to announce that tonight's performance by Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens at Mt. Duneed Estate, Geelong will not go ahead due to illness.
