Rod Stewart has announced that his upcoming tour in 2027 will be his last, according to the Guardian.
The 81-year-old singer has been touring since the early 1960s, when he set out across Europe as a teenager with a harmonica, eventually being deported from Spain for vagrancy while performing in a duo with folk singer Wizz Jones.
The final tour will include dates across the UK and Europe, closing out a touring career that began in his mid-teens and has spanned more than six decades. Stewart described the upcoming run of shows as "most definitely" his last, signaling a definitive end to decades of live performances.
Over the course of his career, Stewart built a reputation as one of rock and pop's most enduring performers, with a catalogue that has drawn audiences across generations. His decision to end touring reflects a broader trend among veteran musicians of his generation, many of whom have similarly announced retirement from the road in recent years.
Further details about specific tour dates and venues for the 2027 shows were not immediately available.
