‘The Show Must Go On’: Classic Rocker Rod Stewart Pauses Show in Utah After Nearly Fainting, Uses Oxygen Tank

We’ve come to a point in time when the men and women who created the golden era of rock music are in their late 70s or 80s.

Many have died or retired, but some remain – plowing away as best as they can.

This applies to 81-year-old British rock icon Rod Stewart, still touring and raising controversies.

About a week ago, Stewart had to cancel a show at the last minute over health issues, only to be seen attending a World Cup match and indulging in alcoholic beverages.

Now, the former ‘Faces’ star was forced to pause his Friday night concert in Utah and breathe oxygen from a tank onstage, explaining afterward that he nearly fainted.

I haven’t worked a day in 10 years and I’m 72. I got tired of his concerts after he went commercial-late 70’s I believe. If people still go to see him I say go for it. I won’t be one of them.

“if you want my body, and you think I’m sexy”

I think its great that these musicians in the 80 or so age group keep going. Hats off to them. This is often what musicians do for as long as they can.

Perhaps Rod Stewart needs money to fund his model train hobby. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50403561

What should have been a comedy skit about aging rocker becomes real life.

If I didn’t know better, I’d say Richards musta made a deal with the devil.

An arrythmia is really common with jet lag, alcohol, and altitude. Sounds like he had all three.

I saw Chicago and the Doobie Brothers not long ago, it was enjoyable and they still sounded good.

My biggest take away from it was where I was sitting I could see a beer stand.

Fastest lines I ever saw, not a single I.D. was asked for or shown.
