Rod Stewart uses oxygen tank during concert after health concerns

Rod Stewart experienced a health scare during a concert on June 21, 2026, at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City. The 81-year-old musician appeared to slow down significantly during his performance, prompting backstage assistance. A video showed Stewart leaning on equipment and receiving an oxygen tank and a cold compress from his team. He later informed the audience that he 'nearly fainted.' Stewart had previously canceled multiple shows due to health issues, including two in Las Vegas on May 29 and 30, 2026, due to a sinus infection. He expressed regret for the cancellations and stated he was looking forward to future performances. Following the concert incident, Stewart has not publicly commented but has indicated he intends to continue performing, albeit with a shift away from large-scale tours.
