Stewart cancels Vegas show just before start time

Rod Stewart canceled a Sunday night performance in Las Vegas due to illness just four hours before the show was slated to start.

The Colosseum at Caesars Palace confirmed the 80-years-old “Young Turks” singer withdrew due to an undisclosed illness.

He’s expected to rock Sin City again Thursday, followed by Saturday and Sunday performances before his rescheduled show for those who missed the postponed concert.

Stewart’s “The Encore Shows” series runs through Oct. 4.
