However, his team took to his Instagram stories and told his fans that he wouldn’t be performing and instead, the gig would be postponed for next year.

The post read: “Important information about tonight’s show.

“Due to a mechanical fault with the aircraft’s landing gear, Rod Stewart is regretfully unable to travel to Niagara Falls and must postpone tonight’s performance at Fallsview Casino Resort.

“Rod is deeply disappointed and apologises to fans for the inconvenience.

“He looks forward to returning for the rescheduled performance on Thursday, March 4, 2027 where he promises to make it up to his fans.

“Purchased tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled date. Existing complimentary reservations will be cancelled,” they signed off.

The venue shared the same post on their own Instagram feed as fans flocked to the comments section to share their frustrations.

One fan wrote: “We’ve been looking forward to this for so long.”

Another bemoaned: “Why couldn’t the concert be pushed back a few hours or even moved to tomorrow? Moving it to next year is crazy, he’s obviously landing eventually..”

While a third added: “It seems he’s cancelled the last couple of shows.”

Back in June, Rod cancelled his California show for his One Last Time tour at the last minute, citing that he was too unwell to perform.

However, just hours later he told his fans he was heading to Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts to see Scotland take on Haiti in the World Cup.

The rock and roll star said on Instagram: “Here we are flying off to Boston to see Scotland in the World Cup.

“It’s been 28 years so these kids I’ve told them about it they’ve never been.

“I’ve been to seven world cups, I’ve been to Argentina, Germany, France, Italy, Mexico, loads of them, this is the seventh.

“We want them to get through to the next round and ill die a happy man, so that’d be great. Come on Scotland!!!”

He was spotted enjoying all of the perks of the VIP box with his two sons.

The performer even had two drinks sitting in front of him, which he sipped on while he enjoyed the match.

However, fans were unhappy that the star was “too unwell to perform” yet he still went to the World Cup match.

Commenting on Rod’s video, one follower wrote: “So you blew off all the people in San Diego that wanted to see you in concert but were able to go to the World Cup, I see! I’m a huge fan of yours but I don’t think that’s cool.”

Another fan added: “What is difficult to accept is the lack of sensitivity toward those of us who made a significant effort to attend his concert and then it was cancelled.”

While a third fumed: “I understand that shows sometimes have to be cancelled, and if there was a legitimate reason, most fans would have accepted it.

“What’s hard to accept is seeing you apparently celebrating on a plane with friends less than 24 hours after thousands of people were sent home disappointed in San Diego.”
