Rod Stewart cancels concert with Cyndi Lauper at the last minute over strep throat
Rod Stewart — in an echo of his previous stint — has once again canceled his concert that was supposed to be held on Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center with promises of performing the show on October 14. The reason behind the last-minute postponing of the concert was his strep throat which allegedly left him unable to perform. An official statement that was released by Stewart reads: "Gutted that strep throat has left me unable to perform this week in Kansas City and the Twin Cities. Thanks to the fans and promoters for their support and swift rescheduling - I look forward to seeing you in October."
This isn't the first time Stewart has canceled a concert at the last minute though, as we mentioned before. As longtime fans will remember, back in 1988, he had canceled a concert at the old Met Center in Bloomington exactly 50 minutes into the show on the accounts of him being ill. In 2000, Stewart was treated for throat cancer.
