Sting Cancels Shows Again, Sparking Health Concerns at 74

Sting has sparked concern after cancelling a string of shows on doctors orders as a result of ill health.

The British rocker, 74, postponed shows in January when he became ill and then again in July due to safety concerns during poor weather.

Now Sting, whose real name is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, has cancelled three more shows because he is ‘under the weather’.

His team first took to Instagram on Saturday to announce that his performance at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood that evening was being postponed until next May. 

They wrote: ‘Sting is under the weather and on his doctor’s advisement, he has been instructed not to perform tonight. 

‘As a result, his concert at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Hollywood, FL this evening will be postponed to May 6, 2026.

In July, Sting had been due to perform at Parco Ragazzi del ’99, a park in Bassano del Grappa, a city in North East Italy.

However, the city’s Mayor advised that the event should be postponed, due to warnings of severe thunderstorms, with a possibility of ‘lightning and extremely high winds’, which sparked concern from organisers.

Sting himself took to social media to share news of the gig’s cancellation with fans. 

He said: ‘The mayor of Bassano del Grappa wisely said it would have been too dangerous for the performance to take place with the possibility of lightning and extremely high winds last night.’

‘The safety of my audience, band and crew is paramount. I promise we will return as soon as we can.’

And in January, Sting postponed two of his concerts and cancelled an upcoming appearance at an awards ceremony due to ill health.

He pulled out of performing at the Bass Magazine Awards, where he was set to be honoured with a lifetime achievement award.

The Police frontman has also pushed back U.S. gigs in Phoenix, Arizona, and Wheatland, California, until later this month while he recovers.

A spokesperson for Sting confirmed in a social media post that fans should keep hold of their original tickets for when the date is rearranged.

Sting sent his apologies to those due to attend the concert and thanked them for being understanding in the unexpected circumstances.

A post on his Instagram page, read: ‘On advisement from his doctor, due to illness, it is with sincere regret that Sting must cancel his appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday…

‘And postpone his STING 3.0 concerts in Phoenix, AZ (originally scheduled for January 24) to June 1 and Wheatland, CA (originally scheduled for January 26) to May 28 as well as his performance at the Cherrytree Music Company’s 20th anniversary, now taking place May 29.

‘Fans should retain their tickets for the postponed shows, as they will be honoured on the new dates.

‘Sting sincerely apologises for any inconvenience and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding.’

Despite the news that he has been forced to pull out of several appearances due to illness, Sting has always prided himself on his health and fitness.

The star has previously credited his amazing shape to his macrobiotic diet, which consists of a lot of vegetables and grains, and aims to avoid toxins and processed food that contain preservatives.

The diet also centres around low consumption of meat, dairy and sugar.

Sting and his wife Trudie Styler moved their family to the Lake House Farm in Wiltshire in 1991, and adopted a self-sufficient diet, growing organic veggies ever since.
