Could Rod Stewart’s Bethel Woods Show Be His Last NY Area Show Ever?

Rod Stewart wants to put rock music behind him after upcoming tour.

Many legendary rockers still out on the road are talking retirement, but Rod Stewart isn't exactly talking retirement, although he wants to put rock n roll behind him. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Rod Stewart wants to leave rock music behind after upcoming tour. "Everything has to come to an end sooner or later" said the rocker. Although he insists he's not retiring.

Rod Stewart at Bethel Woods. Last New York Area Live Performance?

With the talk of Rod Stewart putting rock n roll behind him after his upcoming tour, it got me thinking. The show scheduled at Bethel Woods Sept. 1 featuring Rod Stewart with Cheap Trick looks to be the last New York area date of the tour before Rod heads to Las Vegas for his ongoing residency at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace.  Could the Bethel Woods show be the last opportunity to see Rod Stewart performing live in the area? I won't take my chances of missing out.
