Rod Stewart Given Oxygen at Show, Claims He Almost 'Fainted' on Stage
The 81-year-old singer finished the show seated after staff brought oxygen to the stage as he battled recent respiratory illness.
- On Friday, rock legend Rod Stewart required an oxygen tank onstage during his concert at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City after nearly fainting mid-performance.
- Stewart attributed the exhaustion to the venue's altitude of roughly 4,300 feet combined with recent health challenges, including an acute upper respiratory infection that prevented him from properly acclimatizing before the show.
- Fan footage showed the 81-year-old leaning on instruments and stage barriers while performing the 1981 hit "Young Turks," yet he completed the concert despite the physical struggle.
- After receiving oxygen, Stewart asked the audience, "Would you mind if I sit down for this one?" before finishing the performance seated, determined not to disappoint fans.
- Despite recent setbacks, Stewart maintains no plans to retire, with his "One Last Time" tour continuing throughout summer, including a June 27 show in Lisbon.
