"Following further medical evaluation, Sir Rod Stewart has successfully undergone a routine coronary stent procedure," read a statement on Instagram.
"Doctors are pleased with his recovery, and Rod is doing very well and has returned to his normal daily activities."
It continued: "On the advice of his doctors, he will take the next four weeks to recuperate and regain full fitness before returning to the stage.
"Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to continue his current tour dates.
"Information regarding affected performances will be communicated by the respective promoters and venues."
While he has been an ever present on the road for decades, Sir Rod has been forced to postpone or cancel the occasional show in recent years due to health reasons.
He also had to pause mid-concert in June to take a puff from an oxygen tank during a gig in Utah.
