Photo / APA US judge has canceled the trial for rock icon Rod Stewart and his adult son and scheduled a hearing next month to discuss a plea deal to resolve charges stemming from a New Year's Eve altercation with a hotel security guard nearly two years ago. Rod Stewart, now 76, punched Dixon in his "left rib cage area" with a closed fist, prosecutors allege. Sean Stewart told investigators he became agitated when they were not able to attend the event "due to Dixon's interaction with him and his family". Two Breakers employees who were working the private event told police they saw Sean Stewart push Dixon and Rod Stewart punch the guard.
