Rod Stewart Extends Las Vegas Residency: A Shocking Twist Amid Career Reflections

Hey there, music lovers! Let me tell you something incredible. Just days after Rod Stewart opened up about feeling like his "days are numbered," he dropped a massive announcement about his career. The legendary singer behind hits like "Sailing" is not slowing down anytime soon. In fact, he’s doubling down on what he loves most: performing for his fans.

Extending the Magic in Sin City

Rod Stewart, the man with a voice that could melt hearts and rock stadiums, is extending his 13-year Las Vegas residency, titled Rod Stewart: The Hits. This isn’t just a casual decision—it’s a bold move that tells us the man still has fire in his belly. He’s planning to return to the stage in Las Vegas for even more shows next year. But guess what? There’s a twist to this story that caught everyone off guard.

Rod’s Exciting Announcement

On Wednesday, August 7, Rod took to Instagram to share the news with his fans. “Vegas, I’m having too much fun for this to end so we are coming back for an encore! Don’t miss The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace March 12-22 & May 29-June 8! Tickets on sale Monday at 10amPT!” he exclaimed. Fans were over the moon. One commenter said, “Omg yes!!! Just got back from seeing you there in Vegas and told my husband after the show I’m ready to go to another show again!!”

But here’s the kicker: just as everyone was celebrating this exciting news, Rod had to throw a curveball.

A Bittersweet Moment

Shortly after announcing the extension, Rod revealed he would have to cancel his 200th show celebration. Can you imagine how that must’ve felt for him? In a heartfelt statement, he said, “I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration. Most people can work with strep throat, but obviously not me.”

He continued, “I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully, we’ll now be returning in 2025, and I hope to see you all there.” Fans were heartbroken. One person commented, “I have tickets for tonight. Are they refundable? I’m so heartbroken 💔 wishing you well.”

Initially, Rod was supposed to end his residency with his 200th and final show of The Hits at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Unfortunately, his health issues sidelined the concert. But here’s the thing—Rod isn’t letting a little setback stop him. Despite the setback, he’s ready to keep the music alive.

A Candid Look at Life and Legacy

Rod recently shared some deep thoughts about his life and career, especially as he approaches his 80th birthday. He told The U.S. Sun on July 26, “We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket.” He added, “I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few—probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.”

Even with his candid reflections, Rod is clearly not ready to hang up his hat. In fact, he’s planning to bring his fans an unforgettable experience with The Encore Shows, which will feature his biggest hits, surprises from his songbook, swing tunes, deep cuts, and stunning new production elements.

Tickets and Special Access

Fan club presale tickets will be available starting Thursday, August 8, at 10 a.m. PT. The presale will remain open until Sunday, August 11, at 10 p.m. PT through the Citi Entertainment program. So, if you’re a die-hard fan, make sure to grab your tickets early.

And while Rod’s stage presence has always been unforgettable, he admits his routines have evolved over the years. “I’m not like I was in the ’70s and ’80s. I can’t stay up all night, get drunk, and go mad and still have a voice just like that,” he said. Nowadays, Rod focuses on protecting his voice before and after every show. It’s a testament to his dedication to his craft.
