Rod Stewart's son, 11, rushed to hospital after 'turning blue' and collapsing at football match

Rod Stewart 's 11-year-old son was rushed to hospital after collapsing at a football match.

The Maggie May singer was left terrified after his young son Aiden went 'blue and unconscious' while playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team. The father-of-eight, 77, initially feared his son had a heart attack after being rushed to hospital in an ambulance.

Speaking to FourFourTwo magazine, he said: "We thought my boy had a heart attack.

"He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down. It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack. The lad wanted to do well, pulled on the Hoops in Scotland for his dad.

"Another boy fell backwards and banged his head - he's still not back. In all of my days watching football, that's the only time two ambulances had been called."

It was later confirmed that Aiden had suffered a bad panic attack. According to the NHS, there are a number of symptoms of a panic attack including a racing heartbeat, feeling faint, chest pain and shortness of breath.

Rod shares his two youngest children - Aiden, 11, and Alasdair, 16 - with Loose Women panellist Penny Lancaster.

It's been a hard time for the Stewart clan after Rod lost his two big brothers Don and Bob, who both died within months of each other. He told his followers: "It’s with great sadness that I announce the loss of my brother Bob last night, who joins my brother Don on the great football pitch in the sky.

"I’ve lost two of my best mates in the space of two months. RIP Don and Bob ‘irreplaceable buddies’."

This comes after Rod's eldest son Sean, 42, was hit by a truck in October and was rushed to hospital after the crash.

Sean, who is the son of Rod and his first wife Alana Collins, shared a photo from hospital in a gown and face mask as he wrote: "I got hit by a truck at a red light. Hard out here on these streets."

The entrepreneur was left in a neck brace after the collision.
