Rod Stewart gave fans a brief scare during a Utah concert when he appeared to struggle with his breathing while performing “Young Turks.” The 81-year-old singer paused the show and was assisted by crew members with an oxygen mask before recovering and reassuring the crowd that “the show must go on.”
After returning to the stage, Stewart told fans he had nearly fainted while dancing and asked to remain seated for the next song. The concert took place in West Valley City, which sits about 4,300 feet above sea level, and the altitude may have played a role.
The incident came just days after Stewart canceled a California performance due to a recurring sinus infection. He later apologized to fans, though some were upset after seeing social media posts showing him attending a soccer match shortly afterward.
