Rod Stewart has announced that his next tour will be his last.
The 81-year-old singer confirmed the decision in an announcement reported by the Guardian on 28 September 2026. The farewell run is planned for 2027, with dates in the UK and Europe.
The tour will wrap up a touring career that stretches back to Stewart's mid-teens in the early 1960s. His first steps as a performer were modest: he set out across Europe with a harmonica, busking in a duo with the folk singer Wizz Jones. The venture ended abruptly when Spanish authorities deported Stewart from Spain for vagrancy.
Six decades later, that itinerant teenager's career has become one of the most enduring in British popular music. The 2027 dates will bring it to a close on home ground and across Europe, the territory where it began.
Stewart's framing of the announcement leaves little room for ambiguity. The tour, he said, is "most definitely my last."
