Rod Stewart’s tour continues to be affected by an undisclosed health issue.

After postponing his Sunday night show at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati due to a “minor medical procedure that required prompt attention,” Stewart's now canceled his upcoming concert in Cleveland.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was due to headline Rocket Arena on Tuesday night, but a post on the venue’s website reveals it is no longer happening.

“Following a period of monitoring, doctors have advised Rod Stewart to rest for at least 48 hours. As a result, his performance tomorrow night, Tuesday, August 11 at Rocket Arena in Cleveland has been cancelled,” reads the post. “Rod is disappointed to miss the show and appreciates everyone’s understanding. He looks forward to returning to the stage soon.”

Refunds will be given out to ticket holders.

In a quote posted to Instagram, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has described the track “Mr. Charm,” from the band’s latest album, Foreign Tongues, as “4 on the floor, it’s danceable,” and he is now proving it.

It's been 10 years since Heart put out a new album, but the drought is coming to an end: Nancy Wilson tells Gold Derby that recording on a new album is complete — and it's just one of several projects coming from the band.

"The Heart album is almost finished up now ... the recording's all done," says Wilson. "It's really, really strong. I think it's going to be great. We wrote a bunch of new songs and recorded down in Nashville with the players that we just played the last tour with. ... [T]he album was pretty much recorded live."

Nancy adds, "I’m really happy. It really feels like a Heart record." She says a world tour will follow, as well as a Heart documentary and the long-in-the-works Heart biopic, which has yet to be cast. The Heart documentary, Nancy says, will be about the band, unlike her sister Ann Wilson's recent documentary. In My Voice, in which Nancy did not appear.

"We were waiting for that to get done before we proceeded with the larger one — put the Heart train back on track for next year," Nancy notes. "Hopefully ‘27 and '28 will be the year for Heart world domination, basically."

Nancy also says she and Ann feel "super-reconnected now," especially after Ann's recent cancer diagnosis. "I think she actually beat it," says Nancy, who notes that the health scare made her realize that music is "what we were born to do, and do together."

"It’s what we've always done together, and it's second nature," she adds. "So, getting back into that with Ann one-on-one was extremely meaningful and really fulfilling for me. ... It made me extremely happy to make this album."

It's not just Rumours: there are rumblings in the world of Fleetwood Mac.

"Next year should be a pretty interesting year," the band's former guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, tells E! News. "Because I think quite a few things will reveal themselves."

One thing we know that's in the works is the upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary, which was first announced back in 2024 by Apple. 2027 notably also marks the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac's iconic Rumours album, which was released in 1977.

Of course, that Buckingham is involved in anything Fleetwood Mac-related nowadays is a bit of surprise given his acrimonious departure from the band in 2018, but he says their relationship has improved since then.

"We had left things in 2019, maybe as far as I was concerned, not in a very good place for all the wrong reasons," Buckingham says. "No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out."

That includes reconciling with Stevie Nicks, which happened as part of the 2025 reissue of the duo's 1973 pre-Fleetwood Mac album, Buckingham Nicks.

"Stevie and I are talking all the time now," Buckingham says.

Rush has announced a pair of new vinyl releases. 

The band's 2003 best-of compilation, The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974–1987, will be available on vinyl for the first time on Oct. 2. It will be released as a two-LP set featuring all 16 of the original collection's tracks, as well as an abbreviated one-LP, 10-track version.

Additionally, a 50th anniversary vinyl edition of Rush's 1976 opus 2112 will be released on Oct. 2. That LP, which was pressed to black liquid vinyl, was previously exclusive to the UMusic Shop in New York City during Rush's recent four-show stand at Madison Square Garden as part of their Fifty Something comeback tour.

The Fifty Something tour, which launched in June, marks Rush's first tour since 2015, and their first since the 2020 death of drummer Neil Peart. Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson reformed the band in 2025 with drummer Anika Nilles.

Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire’s show in San Francisco was canceled last minute Thursday night due to a “medical emergency” involving a member of the band.

Earth, Wind & Fire announced the news in a social media post just minutes before the concert was set to begin at the Chase Center.

“We are unable to perform as scheduled tonight at Chase Center in San Francisco due to a medical emergency involving a member of our band,” the message read. “As a result, tonight’s show with Lionel Richie will be rescheduled, with a new date to be announced soon.”

“Ticket holders should retain their tickets, which will be honored for the new date, or refunds will be available at the point of purchase,” the statement added. “We sincerely apologize for the unexpected change and appreciate everyone’s understanding.”

Back in June, Lionel Richie had to postpone two concerts after falling ill onstage during the first night of the tour.

The tour’s next scheduled date is Saturday in Palm Desert, California.

Rush's Fifty Something comeback tour will hit their hometown of Toronto for a four-show stand beginning Friday, and the band plans to properly document the occasion.

According to a post on the Rush Facebook, all four Toronto shows will be filmed.

"It's always a hard decision as to where to film a live concert," says bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee. "Given the limited cities we are able to play, the demand for such a film has been off the charts, not only as a keepsake of their experience, but for those many fans that have not been able to see it live. Toronto being hometown made it a natural choice, and being the last mini-residency of 4 shows, playing over 40 songs which gives us the best chance to capture it all."

The shows will mark the first time Rush has played Toronto since 2015, and their first since the death of beloved drummer Neil Peart in 2020. Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson reformed Rush in 2025 with Anika Nilles on drums.

"We know there are fans traveling here from all across the globe and that will make it a special week," Lee says of the Toronto shows. "This tour, being a celebration of our history and a tribute to Neil has been an emotional outpouring from the fans and from us. They have been louder and prouder than ever before, and we hope to capture them letting their ya-yas out while rockin’ their best 'Tom Sawyer' air drum fills!"

Barbra Streisand can add "children's book author" to her already extensive resume.

The entertainment legend will publish And by the Way… in March 30, 2027. The book, illustrated by Paige Keiser, is now available for preorder. It follows a grandparent and grandchild as they "contemplate life's most important truths," according to the publisher.

One line in the book reads, "Dress up, speak up, and dream big." Another reads, "Reach for the moon with your big ideas. And by the way . . . in my heart, you’re already a shining star."

In a statement via Publisher's Weekly, Streisand says, "I love being ‘Gamma Barbra’ to my three wonderful young grandchildren. One of our favorite activities is reading picture books together.... So, I thought it would be fun to write my own book for them, and hopefully, for other parents and grandparents to read to their little ones!”

The title of the book, Streisand says, is "an expression I use quite often. It seems like there’s always one more thing to say! The message is one of discovery, self-expression, self-reliance, and of course, love.”

Streisand's 2023 autobiography, My Name Is Barbra, was a best seller, despite weighing in at nearly 1,000 pages in its physical edition.

Melissa Etheridge's joint summer tour with Wynonna Judd wraps up Sunday, and then she'll continue touring on her own through October in support of her new album, RISE. And when she looks out in the audience these days, she sees multiple generations of fans.

Melissa says the fans who reach out to her on social media or talk to her at her shows aren't just those who were around in the late '80s and '90s when she recorded her classic hits. Often, it's younger people who discovered her music through their family members -- and she says that provides her with some powerful motivation.

"I love that, and that always makes me, like, 'Keep going, keep writing, keep playing the the hit songs,'" she tells ABC Audio. "And I've gone from, you know, 'Oh, I'm a big fan of yours' to then it was, 'My mom's such a big fan of yours.'"

"And the last couple years I've started to get, 'My grandma's a big fan of yours,'" she laughs. "So you know what? Let's hear it for the grandmas! It's OK!"

But she doesn't just have fans of all ages; Melissa says sometimes they all come to see her together.

"Sometimes I get the ... whole family showing up: the kids, the grandkids, the grandma, you know, they're all there," she says. "And I love that I can be a family destination." 

Melissa is set to appear at LA's Grammy Museum on Aug. 24 for a conversation about RISE, followed by a special performance on the museum's rooftop terrace. Tickets are on sale now.

Singer Barry Manilow had to postpone his Lexington, Kentucky, concert unexpectedly on Monday.

Manilow shared the update in a Monday Instagram post, writing, “Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's show in Lexington has been rescheduled.”

The 83-year-old singer is currently on a farewell tour with concerts coming up in Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

In June, Manilow revealed to ABC News that doctors had diagnosed him with lung cancer and that he had undergone a lung lobectomy, which altered his voice.

ABC News has reached out to Manilow for comment.
