Rod Stewart Announces End of Large-Scale World Tours at 79

The music legend plans to shift to smaller, more intimate performances while affirming he has no intention of retiring.

Rod Stewart, 79, has stated that his current large-scale world tours, including dates in Europe and North America in 2025, will be his last of this kind.
Stewart emphasized that he is not retiring and intends to continue performing, potentially focusing on smaller venues and a 'Great American Songbook' tour in 2026.
The announcement follows the release of his album 'Swing Fever' earlier this year and his upcoming Las Vegas residencies in 2025 at Caesars Palace.
The British musician reflected on his age, fitness, and career, noting his enjoyment of performing but acknowledging his days of major arena tours are over.
Fans have expressed widespread support for Stewart's decision, praising his decades-long contributions to music and live performances.
