 Stewart, 60, has suffered throat problems in the past |
Singer Rod Stewart has called off the entire London leg of his UK tour because of a severe throat infection. Stewart postponed his first London date at Earls Court on Monday, but had hoped to return to the stage on Wednesday.
However, the 60-year-old singer has now cancelled both Wednesday and Thursday's performances as well on the advice of his doctor.
Ticket holders are being advised to hold on to tickets and await details of the rescheduled London gigs.
The veteran rocker, who has already played five dates around the UK, is hoping to continue the tour in Birmingham on Friday 14 May.
Cancer scare
Stewart's 2002 was hit by cancellations due to a throat infection, with two shows axed.
In 2000, he had a cancerous growth removed from his throat, sparking fears he would not be able to sing again.
It took nine months for him to be able to return to singing, but he was eventually given the all-clear.
Stewart is engaged to model Penny Lancaster and the pair plan to marry when his divorce from second wife Rachel Hunter is finalised.
