Singer Rod Stewart has revealed he called an ambulance after his son, aged 11, turned blue and collapsed while watching a football match.
A suspected heart attack was at first thought to be the cause of the medical event.
The Evening Standard reports the rock veteran, 77, recalled his son going “blue and unconscious” while playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team.
Although the hitmaker didn’t share further details of when the incident occurred, he confirmed an ambulance did attend.

That young could very well be a defect of some sort.
Maybe they’ll say more later.
Jab related? The UK love to Jab minors.
“died suddenly”
In the article it is reported that it was a panic attack but they don’t talk about what the results of the heart tests were so I am suspicious.
Dude is 77 and has an 11 yr old...Props to the man!!! I hope the kid will be ok.
Wow! A 77 year old with an 11 year old.
Yeah I thought my parents had me late at 42/45 y.o.
Perfectly common - nothing to see here
I have seen a lot of news articles in the past year that offer many different possible causes for heart attacks in young children...
defects
allergies
video games
stress at school
bad sleep patterns
None of the news articles mentioned any new widespread experimental medical treatment though.
A panic attack wouldn’t make you turn blue.
Rod Stewart was a great footballer. His dad wanted him to go pro. Turned to singing instead. Worked out pretty good.

I wasn’t aware that panic attacks caused people to ‘go blue and unconscious’ .... I know it can feel like a heart attack, but blue/unconscious?
Did a little scrounging around ... this seems to be what mostly happens (it’s not blue & unconscious):
What Causes Fainting – or Feelings of Faint
With that in mind, let’s discuss many of the issues that can lead to either fainting or more realistically, feeling you’re going to faint. While fainting may be rare, feeling like you’re about to faint is incredibly common. In fact, lightheadedness, dizziness, and weakness (all what you feel when you’re about to faint) are extremely common symptoms of panic attacks, so much so that those that don’t know they’re having a panic attack may think that they’re in the process of a heart attack, or worse, feeling as though fainting is imminent. What causes this feeling can be complicated, but the most common causes are:
Hyperventilation The most common reason for feelings of faint is hyperventilation, and although hyperventilation can cause fainting, it generally doesn’t do it when you have anxiety. Hyperventilation comes from breathing too quickly or too inefficiently and breathing out too much carbon dioxide. Hyperventilation constricts blood vessels, including those to your brain, which in turn causes you to feel light headed, weaker, and more. This is the number one reason that people feel faint during anxiety attacks.
Adrenaline Adrenaline itself doesn’t necessarily create lightheadedness and fainting, but it does increase the heart rate, cause tunnel vision, and can make the body feel like it’s on air. Adrenaline is responsible for anxiety itself, and some of the symptoms of adrenaline rushes combined with severe fear can make it feel like you’re about to pass out.
Brain Shutdown Anxiety and panic overwhelm the brain. During a panic attack, some parts of your brain actually shut down (or slow), while others go into full coping mode. It’s possible that during this process, your mind isn’t working properly, which could in theory lead to symptoms that mimic what precedes fainting.
Sensitivity It’s also important to note that symptom of panic attacks is an increased sensitivity to physical sensations. Those with panic disorder have a tendency to feel symptoms more strongly than those without panic disorder. For example, when someone without anxiety stands up too fast and gets light headed they shrug it off and it goes away. When someone with anxiety gets the same lightheadedness, the feeling is amplified, and often triggers further anxiety which triggers further panic.
These are the reasons that it often feels like you’re about to faint during a panic attack, and in rare cases these are the issues that could actually lead to faint. But in general, they simply cause severe physical symptoms that mimic near-fainting, which is why so many people worry about whether or not they are going to faint in the future.

Another “excuse” being used rather commonly now is “dehydration” ... a sportscaster had what looked like a seizure/neurological issue while on the air .... ‘dehydration’ was claimed. I’m an ex-EMT ..... have not seen what I saw on the video in any dehydration (even heat exhaustion/stroke) cases (nor have I seen blue/unconscious with panic attacks).
I think Tony Randall beat him…
I’m not saying it wasn’t vaccine related, but we don’t know and there could be a genetic abnormality.
I have had zero Covid shots and zero flu shots.
It will remain that way.
my old fart doctor was in the same situation...left his wife of 30 years and married a young chick. She had a kid and really, really raked him over the coals. men can be such fools.
didn’t letterman father a kid when he was in his 60s.
A little off topic but I used to work as security for concerts in my town back in the 80s.
I was working back stage at a Rod Stewart concert until one of my security guard buddies that was working the floor in front of the stage came back and said “dude you gotta trade places with me....you won’t believe this”....so I walked onto the floor in front of the stage and there was womens underwear flying EVERYWHERE.
On the floor, on the stage, on Stewarts microphone stand....freakin’ everywhere.
The fact he was able to find a woman to have a kid with so late in life is absolutely no surprise to me........either ya got it....or ya don’t......and like him or not, he’s always been atractive to women.
I hope his kid is ok.
“Wow! A 77 year old with an 11 year old.”
Not surprised, this is Rod Stewart after all.
