Various fans expressed their disappointment upon hearing the unfortunate news. In the comment section of the post, some of Rod’s fans claimed that the singer canceled other shows in the Asian region as well.

“He canceled some of his Asian cities too, not just the Philippines,” a fan shared.

“We all know whyyyy. You overpriced. Yet, Rod Stewart did not want to come not having a sold out [show],” another fan added.

The all-seated show in the country would’ve marked the British singer-songwriter’s return to the Asian scene 15 years since his last tour in the region. Apart from the Philippines, Rod was set to hold several shows in Asia including Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, among others.

Rod is known for his hit songs “Forever Young,” “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy,” “Sailing,” and “Young Turks,” to name a few.
