Rod Stewart has revealed that he canceled his concert with Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens in Australia due to a “viral infection.”

“Hello my friends,” the British rock star said in a statement on Instagram Saturday. “I’m absolutely downhearted that I’m disappointing my fans who bought tickets to A Day On The Green.”

“Late this morning I was advised that I have a viral infection and my throat was too irritated to sing,” Stewart, 78, added. “I’m only human and sometimes get sick just like you do.

“My greatest joy is performing for you, so I’m doing everything I can to get on the mend and back on stage!”

Stewart’s Instagram comments were flooded with well-wishes from fans across the globe.
