Fans of Sir Rod Stewart have been left disappointed after the musician was forced to cancel a show due to illness. Sir Rod was set to perform at Geelong in Australia for the next date in his tour on Saturday afternoon (March 18), but announced earlier in the day he had been advised not to sing.
The singer, 78, was to take to the stage with Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens as support acts. However, just six hours before he was due to perform, Sir Rod tweeted he had come down with a viral infection which was affecting his throat, making him unable to sing.
A statement shared by all three musicians on Instagram told fans there would be a further announcement, early next week, on the concert arrangements. Many fans responded to the announcement by wishing the musician a speedy recovery.
