Rod Stewart is causing concern after a concert in Utah.

The 81-year-old “Maggie May” singer paused mid-concert at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre to use an oxygen tank onstage, nearly fainting on Friday (June 19) in West Valley City, Utah.

Rod could be seen doubling over seemingly unwell in viral footage from the concert, and was spotted using an oxygen tank to help his breathing backstage.

He later came out into the crowd and told them he nearly fainted while making jokes and finishing off his set in a chair.

He faced some major backlash from fans for his recent appearance at the 2026 World Cup.

The night before, Rod was scheduled to perform at San Diego’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre. However, 45 minutes before the concert was set to start, Rod canceled, citing health reasons.

“He traveled to the venue and made every effort to perform, but on the advice of his doctors, and following a diagnosis of an acute upper respiratory infection that has resulted in laryngitis, he is unable to take the stage this evening,” read a statement posted on the venue’s Instagram.

Back in May, he just got a very special Grammy Salute on CBS called Forever Young: A Grammy Salute to Rod Stewart Live. Get all the details.
