Spare a thought for the more, shall we say, experienced members of the rock community as temperatures soar this summer. Rod Stewart, who turned 81 earlier this year, had to use an oxygen tank to get through a gig in Utah last week.
The show was at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater in West Valley City last Friday and in social media clips from the gig, Stewart can be visibly struggling during Young Turks. He can be seen propping himself up against his keyboard player and then against a microphone stand. At other times he leans over, as if he is short of breath. To his credit, he doesn’t miss a note.
