Rod Stewart was forced to use an oxygen tank onstage when he nearly fainted during his Utah concert on Friday night \u2014 weeks after cancelling a series of gigs over health issues. <\/p>\n

The 81-year-old rock legend was performing at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City when fans noticed he wasn\u2019t moving around the stage as much as usual.<\/p>\n

Stewart appeared to lean on instruments, stage barriers and a pole for support while continuing to perform, according to video obtained by TMZ.<\/p>\n

At one point, attendants brought out an oxygen tank, and Stewart took several deep breaths before addressing the crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show must go on,\u201d he told concertgoers. \u201cI nearly f\u2014ing fainted there. Would you mind if I sit down for this one?\u201d<\/p>\n

The British star then finished the performance seated in a chair.<\/p>\n

West Valley City sits roughly 4,300 feet above sea level, and the altitude may have played a factor in the singer\u2019s apparent discomfort.<\/p>\n

The incident comes one week after Stewart canceled a June 12 concert in San Diego less than an hour before showtime.<\/p>\n

Organizers initially cited a sinus infection, while Stewart later revealed he had been diagnosed with an acute upper respiratory infection that caused laryngitis.<\/p>\n

Stewart later faced criticism when he was spotted at a World Cup match in Boston less than a day after pulling out of the San Diego concert.<\/p>\n

Photos and videos shared online showed him cheering on Scotland from the stands after traveling by private jet with his sons, Aidan and Alastair, and appearing to enjoy a drink while watching the match.<\/p>\n

The singer also canceled two Las Vegas shows in May, telling fans he was on vocal rest while battling a sinus infection.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy apologies to my family of fans. I am on vocal rest as I recover from a sinus infection,\u201d Stewart said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to seeing you at a future show at Caesars Palace or on tour this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the recent health setbacks, Stewart has maintained that he has no plans to retire.<\/p>\n

After announcing his \u201cOne Last Time\u201d farewell tour in 2024, the singer clarified that he was stepping away from large-scale world tours \u2014 not live performances altogether.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,\u201d Stewartshared on Instagram at the time. \u201cI love what I do, and I do what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Stewart has long credited his fitness routine for helping him stay on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cI keep myself very fit,\u201d he told AARP last year. \u201cI played soccer all my life \u2014 don\u2019t so much anymore, because I had a knee replacement. And I\u2019ve always had a trainer \u2014 same guy for 38 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer added that he has a \u201cmassive\u201d gym and an indoor pool at home, saying, \u201cWe do a lot of underwater training, where the trainer throws a brick into the pool and I have to dive in, push the brick to the end of the pool, and come up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart is scheduled to continue his \u201cOne Last Time\u201d tour across the US throughout July and August, with the final date currently set for Aug. 15 in St. Louis.<\/p>\n
