Overview
- Video from the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre shows crew bring an oxygen tank to Rod Stewart’s side after he doubled over and told the crowd he had “nearly f***ing fainted” during the Friday performance, then finished the set seated.
- The incident follows recent last‑minute cancellations and a team statement that Stewart was treated for an acute upper respiratory infection that developed into laryngitis, with doctors previously advising vocal rest.
- Fans criticized Stewart after he was photographed attending a World Cup match in Boston less than a day after canceling a San Diego show, prompting debate over when public appearances are appropriate during recovery.
- Promoters say the One Last Time North American schedule continues into July and August with some shows rescheduled, refunds being processed and ticketing logistics remaining an active issue for affected attendees.
- Reporters and concertgoers have pointed to factors that could have contributed to the episode—the Utah venue’s roughly 4,300‑foot elevation, the physical demands of performing and Stewart’s age—and observers say those factors make his upcoming dates ones to watch for further health or scheduling changes.
