Legendary British singer Rod Stewart seriously worried fans during a concert in Salt Lake City, USA. In the midst of the performance, the 81-year-old artist felt unwell and required oxygen assistance. Despite this, the musician decided to continue the show.
According to the Daily Mail, during a concert, Rod Stewart suddenly felt unwell. The artist bent over on stage and was forced to use an oxygen tank right in front of the audience.
After a few breaths, the singer managed to recover and addressed the crowd with the words: "The show must go on." These words prompted thunderous applause from the audience.
The performer of the hit Rhythm of My Heart admitted that he nearly lost consciousness during the previous song. After that, he asked the audience for permission to perform the next number while sitting.
The incident occurred just a few days after Stewart was forced to cancel a concert in California. At that time, the musician's representatives reported that he had been diagnosed with an acute upper respiratory infection complicated by laryngitis.
Later, the artist told his followers on social media that he felt significantly better after treatment, but his voice had not fully recovered yet.
Another episode also sparked additional discussion. Less than a day after canceling the concert, Stewart took a private plane to Boston with his sons to attend the World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti.
Some fans found this action controversial. Comments appeared on social media questioning how the artist could be too ill for a concert but still undertake a long flight for a sporting event.
Nevertheless, most fans expressed their support for the musician, noting his dedication to the stage and his desire not to disappoint the audience even amid health issues.
What happened reminded fans of the legendary musician's age and the pressures that accompany concert tours. Despite his illness and recent health problems, Rod Stewart chose not to cancel the performance, once again demonstrating why he remains one of the most dedicated stars in the world of music.
