Rod Stewart, 81, pauses his Friday night concert in West Valley City, Utah, after nearly fainting onstage and uses an oxygen tank during the performance. Multiple outlets report that Stewart leans against an instrument and takes oxygen midset, with the pause accompanied by comments to the audience indicating he nearly fainted and asking if he can sit down. After receiving oxygen, he continues the show from a seated position at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. Some reports also mention additional support such as backstage medical assistance and a cold compress. The incident comes after a period of health-related disruptions to his touring, including cancellations and postponements tied to medical advice and treatment for an illness described as respiratory in coverage. Separate reporting also notes he had recently appeared at or attended the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony shortly after canceling shows, before the onstage episode in Utah.
