Rod Stewart Is Eager To Return To The Stage After Heart Procedure

Rod Stewart's wife, Penny Lancaster, has offered a reassuring update on the singer after a health issue led him to pause his tour.

Speaking on the At Home with Vanessa podcast, Lancaster said doctors found a slight blockage that required a stent. Stewart's team had announced the successful coronary stent procedure in August and cancelled remaining tour dates while he recovered.

The discovery followed a difficult moment at a June concert in Utah, where Stewart nearly fainted and used oxygen. Lancaster said an underlying heart issue was identified afterward.

For fans wondering how he is now, her message was encouraging: he is doing well and eager to perform again. She said he has returned to the gym, and dates for US performances in 2027 have been announced.

The key distinction is timing. This week's update explains what doctors found and how Stewart is recovering; the procedure itself was announced in August. No new medical emergency has been reported.

For a performer known for his energy onstage, the prospect of hearing him sing again is welcome news. Which Rod Stewart song would you most want to hear live?
