Rod Stewart Announces 'Final Encore' as His Last Tour, Ending Six-Decade Career
Rod Stewart, 81, has announced that his upcoming 2027 tour, 'The Final Encore,' will be his last. The tour spans the UK, Ireland, and Europe, concluding in July. This decision follows a recent heart procedure that forced him to cancel his 2026 US tour. While he is retiring from touring, Stewart has not ruled out future studio work or one-off performances.
