Rod Stewart shares cancer diagnosis experience and celebrates recovery

Sir Rod Stewart shared his experience of being diagnosed with cancer, recalling how he felt his "palms went cold" upon receiving the news. He underwent a biopsy after a routine check-up revealed a malignant growth on his thyroid gland. Stewart has since made a full recovery and celebrated his 80th birthday this year. He is also preparing for a world tour, highlighting his return to health and music. The diagnosis came as a shock during a visit to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he initially felt healthy. After successful surgery, he did not require chemotherapy.
