Rod Stewart Resurfaces with Family Support After Canceled Shows

Sir Rod Stewart, 80, was seen for the first time since being left 'devastated' after cancelling six shows due to ill health while stepping out in Beverly Hills

ROD STEWART'S HEALTH WOES: LEGEND, 80, LEFT 'DEVASTATED' AS HE CANCELS SIX SHOWS DUE TO ILLNESS - BUT HE'S BACK ON THE MENU WITH BEVERLY HILLS DATE NIGHT!

The music industry is abuzz with news of Sir Rod Stewart's latest health woes. The rock legend, 80, has been forced to cancel not one, not two, but six shows due to his ongoing battle with the flu. And while fans are left feeling devastated by this development, Rod seems determined to put on a brave face - and a dashing outfit to boot!

The Maggie May hitmaker was spotted stepping out in Beverly Hills last night, accompanied by none other than his lookalike son Sean, 44, and daughter Kimberly, 45. The trio headed for dinner at the swanky Matsuhisa restaurant, with Rod flashing a bright smile despite still recovering from his illness.

But what's really got tongues wagging is Rod's latest Instagram statement, in which he reveals that he's been forced to cancel an additional six US shows on top of the two Las Vegas gigs he nixed earlier this week. The singer writes, "I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans... I'll be back on stage and will see you soon!"

And it seems Rod is being true to his word - after all, the music veteran has a packed schedule ahead of him, including a highly-anticipated performance at Glastonbury Festival in just a few weeks' time. The crooner is set to take the stage as part of the Sunday afternoon legends slot on June 29, and fans can't wait to see him bring his signature swagger to the iconic festival.

But what's really got everyone talking is Rod's plans for a mini-reunion with his old band Faces when he takes to the Glastonbury stage. Yes, you read that right - after years of being tight-lipped about their reunion, it seems Rod and Ronnie Wood are finally ready to get back together!

In an exclusive interview on The Peter Crouch podcast, Rod spilled all about their plans for a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour next year, which will see them take to smaller venues and create a more intimate atmosphere. But don't worry - the music legend has no intention of hanging up his guitar just yet! "I'd like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour... but then again, I may not," he teased.

And speaking of family, Rod's daughters are following in their father's footsteps. Kimberly is expecting her third child, and while she hasn't revealed the identity of the baby's father just yet, it seems Delilah - her 13-year-old daughter from a previous relationship with Benicio del Toro - is already getting into the music scene!

The singer shares an impressive eight children with five different mothers, but it's clear that family is at the forefront of his mind as he navigates this latest health setback. With a packed schedule ahead and no signs of slowing down, it seems Rod Stewart is back on track to bring the house down - both on and off stage!
