Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster breaks silence after rocker’s heart scare

Rod Stewart’s recent health scare has forced the legendary singer to cancel the remaining dates of his One Last Time farewell tour, leaving fans concerned about his recovery. His wife, Penny Lancaster, has now offered a reassuring update as the 81-year-old musician focuses on getting better.

Stewart recently underwent a successful coronary stent procedure after being taken to hospital for a medical issue. His representatives confirmed that he is recovering well and has resumed normal daily activities, but doctors have advised him to take around four weeks away from performing. 

Penny Lancaster shares an emotional update

Lancaster, who has been married to Stewart since 2007, has remained close to him throughout his recent health difficulties. Her response comes as the singer takes a break from the demanding touring schedule he has maintained for years.

The couple’s family life has frequently remained separate from Stewart’s huge career, but Lancaster has supported her husband through several health challenges over the years.

Stewart himself has attempted to reassure fans that he is recovering. Following the procedure, the singer expressed his gratitude to the medical professionals who cared for him and apologized to fans who will miss his upcoming performances. 

Tour cancellation follows several setbacks

The heart procedure comes after a difficult period for Stewart’s touring schedule.

Earlier this month, he postponed a Cincinnati performance after requiring what was initially described as a minor medical procedure. A Cleveland show was also postponed. These cancellations followed other health-related disruptions earlier in the year. 

Stewart also caused concern during a July concert in Utah when he briefly stopped performing and used oxygen backstage after nearly fainting. He later addressed the audience and continued his performances. 

With his latest medical procedure requiring additional recovery time, Stewart has now canceled the remaining dates of his One Last Time tour. The affected schedule included performances in North America, Mexico and a planned Las Vegas residency. Promoters and venues are expected to provide information about refunds and other arrangements directly to ticket holders. 

Stewart focuses on recovery

Despite the disappointment of ending the tour early, Stewart’s representatives say he is doing well and following medical advice.

The singer has spent decades performing around the world, and stepping away from the stage is clearly an emotional decision. However, his latest update suggests that his priority is now regaining his strength.

For Lancaster and the rest of Stewart’s family, the recent health scare has brought another reminder of the importance of putting his wellbeing first.
