Sir Rod Stewart, 78, cancels his Geelong show due to mystery illness
British rock star Sir Rod Stewart, 78, has canceled his show in Geelong during his Australian tour due to a mysterious illness.
Sir Rod Stewart canceled his Geelong show at the Mt. Duneed Estate just hours before it was due to start due to a mysterious illness.
The show is part of the 78-year-old British rock legend’s Australian tour with Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens.
He posted the bad news on his Instagram account on Saturday, six hours before appearing on stage.
“Live Nation and Roundhouse Entertainment regret to announce that tonight’s performance by Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens at the Mt. Duneed Estate, Geelong will not take place due to illness,” their statement read.
We apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience to ticket holders. A further announcement about the concert arrangements will be made early next week.’

Stewart posted the message along with a caption containing a broken heart emoji.
It’s unclear which of the three artists has fallen ill, as they all made the same cancellation post on their Instagram pages.
Lauper, 69, posted his statement with the caption “Forwarding from Sir Rod Stewart,” while Stevens, 61, simply said, “Important announcement.”

It’s also unclear how this mysterious illness will affect the rest of the tour, as the trio are due to play Adelaide on Tuesday.
They will then head to Mt Cotton in Queensland on March 25 and 26 before flying to Sydney on March 29.
The tour will remain in New South Wales for its final two shows, one in Hunter Valley on April 1 and the finale in Bowral on April 2.
