Stewart has cancelled another one of his Las Vegas concerts. It comes after the 80 year old was given doctors orders to rest and recover from the flu.

The rock legend was due to take the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace today (Thursday, June 5) but told fans he is still unwell, meaning he has had to cancel another performance.

‌ Taking to Instagram the Maggie May singer told fans: "I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

‌ "My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding. - Rod," he concluded with a broken heart emoji. It currently remains unclear if the

rocker will reschedule the concert.

Fans rushed to offer their support, wishing the singer well. As one wrote: "Take care, Sir Roderick and have a great recovery! I'm sending you positive vibes." A second added: "Get well

soon, Rod. I hope to see you in Latin America. It is my father's dream."

comes first."

This comes as Rod was forced to reschedule his residency gig on Monday due to the illness, with a new date set for June 10. Earlier this week he posted on Instagram: "I am sorry to inform

you that I'm not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10. Your tickets will be valid for the new date."

be taking a step back from the stage and large scale tours in the next year.

"This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire," he said in a statement on social media. "I love what I do, and I do what I love."

"I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79," he jokingly concluded.

Faces at the festival, with hits that lifelong friend and Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood will be joining him on stage to perform.
