The Maggie May singer was forced to axe his 200th residency celebration show just hours before his The Hits show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace due to a bout of the bacterial infection strep throat.

“Most people can work with strep throat, but obviously not me,” Stewart told fans. “I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long.”
