Rod Stewart cancelled a show at a Las Vegas casino, in 2000, but kept the $2 million advance fee.
“He and his doctors testified he was later diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had two tumors surgically removed in May 2000,” says the Associated Press. “One was cancerous, one was benign.” Stewart said he didn't "fully recover his trademark raspy voice in time for the Las Vegas show".

One of his lawyers said he’ll appeal.
