Sir Rod Stewart has had to postpone two more performances after contracting Covid-19.
The 79-year-old musician has delayed his upcoming gigs in Nevada and California as he "recovers from a summer strain" of the virus. An update shared on his Instagram read: "We regret to announce that tonight's Rod Stewart concert in Stateline, NV and his August 10 show in Lincoln, CA have been postponed, as the singer recovers from a summer strain of Covid-19.
"The Lincoln, CA concert at Thunder Valley Casino will now be on August 18 and his concert at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys in Stateline, NV concert will now be August 20. Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets as they will be honored for the rescheduled shows."

This news follows the disappointment of canceling what would have been his 200th show at his Las Vegas residency last week. Rod has been delighting fans with his 'Rod Stewart: The Hits' series at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace since 2011, but had to cancel the last performance shortly before taking to the stage due to strep throat, which is caused by a bacterial infection.
On Instagram, Rod expressed his regret, writing: "I'm desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration." He added: "Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I'm absolutely gutted.
"I've been looking forward to this concert for so long." He concluded with an apology to his fans: "My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully we'll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there."

Rod, not ready to bid farewell to the Las Vegas lights, surprised fans by extending his residency. He excitedly shared on social media: "Vegas, I'm having too much fun for this to end so we are coming back for an encore!"
He added: "Don't miss The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace March 12-22 May 29-June 8! Tickets on sale Monday at 10amPT!" As he approaches his 80th birthday in January, Rod remains defiant in the face of aging, telling The Sun: "I'm aware my days are numbered but I've got no fear.
"We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few - probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy."
