Rod, 81, admitted to the crowd that he had nearly fainted during the gig in Utah.
Scots singer Rod Stewart ‘nearly fainted’ during a gig in the United States and was given oxygen on stage.
The rock star was performing at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City on Friday, June 19, when he required the assistance from backstage.
In a video shared online, Rod can be seen leaning against musical instruments, barriers and a pole at the side of the stage as he was visibly struggling to continue with his set.
Rod, 81, wasn’t moving around the stage in his usual manner before he paused the concert to receive help.
According to TMZ, crew members backstage brought out an oxygen tank after Rod doubled over.
The Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? singer managed to plough on after getting support and addressed the audience, admitting that he had nearly fainted, while still managing to raise a few laughs to ease the tension.
However, he finished the show sitting down following the incident.
Rod was forced to cancel a number of shows following a bout of flu and, most recently, was unable to perform in San Diego as a result of laryngitis.
He was, however, able to take in some of the World Cup in Boston as he attended one of Scotland’s matches to support Steve Clarke’s men.
