Sir Rod Stewart cancelled a show in Las Vegas last night (Sunday 1st June) due to illness - prompting worries that he'll be fit for his Glastonbury slot in a few weeks.

Rod wrote on Instagram in November: "This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire."
"I love what I do, and I do what I love."I'm fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79."I'd like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not..."
