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.

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.
