Sir Rod Stewart has given fans an update on his health after cancelling a gig due to illness.
The Young Turks singer, 78, was forced to pull out of a show in Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong, Australia as part of his world tour supported by Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens.
A statement released by promoters read: ‘Live Nation and Roundhouse Entertainment regret to announce that tonight’s performance by Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens at Mt Duneed Estate, Geelong will not go ahead due to illness.
‘We apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience for ticket holders. A further announcement regarding the concert arrangements will be made early next week.’
Now, the I Don’t Want to Talk About It chart-topper has assured fans the tour will go on following the cancellation.
‘My dear friends in Adelaide, just a guarantee that the show will be going ahead,’ Rod said in a video posted to his Instagram page.

Sitting on a sofa dressed in a white striped top and black trousers, Sir Rod revealed a viral infection prevented him from performing in Geelong.
‘I had a slight setback here in Melbourne, I had to miss a show because I had step throat, but I am fine now and I will be there, I am looking forward to it,’ he said.
The First Cut Is the Deepest singer is currently on a world tour, with gigs in countries such as Mexico, New Zealand, and the US.
He will then return to the UK for a number of performances in June in Plymouth, Northampton, Durham, Bristol, Hull, and Edinburgh.
It comes after Sir Rod announced he would pay for life-saving scans after hearing heartbreaking NHS crisis stories.
The pop icon explained to Sky News: ‘In all my years of living in this country, I’ve never seen it so bad, and anything I could do to help.’
