Would you mind if I sit down for this one?" after becoming visibly winded on stage. • This incident follows several recent concert cancellations by Stewart due to health issues, including an acute upper respiratory infection, laryngitis, and the flu, which led to him calling off shows in San Diego and Las Vegas. • Stewart faced criticism for attending a World Cup game to cheer on Scotland, reportedly enjoying an alcoholic drink, just a day after cancelling a show in Chula Vista, California, citing voice problems. • He has also postponed shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to September 2027, as he continues the North American leg of his "One Last Time" tour, which is billed as his farewell to large-scale touring.
