Rod Stewart, 81, stops Utah concert to use oxygen tank onstage after nearly fainting

Rod Stewart was forced to use an oxygen tank onstage when he nearly fainted during his Utah concert on Friday night — weeks after cancelling a series of gigs over health issues.
The 81-year-old rock legend was performing at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City when fans noticed he wasn’t moving around the stage as much as usual.
Stewart appeared to lean on instruments, stage barriers and a pole for support while continuing to perform, according to video obtained by TMZ.
At one point, attendants brought out an oxygen tank, and Stewart took several deep breaths before addressing the crowd.
“The show must go on,” he told concertgoers. “I nearly f—ing fainted there. Would you mind if I sit down for this one?”
The British star then finished the performance seated in a chair.
West Valley City sits roughly 4,300 feet above sea level, and the altitude may have played a factor in the singer’s apparent discomfort.
The incident comes one week after Stewart canceled a June 12 concert in San Diego less than an hour before showtime.
Organizers initially cited a sinus infection, while Stewart later revealed he had been diagnosed with an acute upper respiratory infection that caused laryngitis.
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.
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.
The singer also canceled two Las Vegas shows in May, telling fans he was on vocal rest while battling a sinus infection.
“My apologies to my family of fans. I am on vocal rest as I recover from a sinus infection,” Stewart said at the time.
“I look forward to seeing you at a future show at Caesars Palace or on tour this summer.”
Despite the recent health setbacks, Stewart has maintained that he has no plans to retire.
After announcing his “One Last Time” farewell tour in 2024, the singer clarified that he was stepping away from large-scale world tours — not live performances altogether.
“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,” Stewart shared on Instagram at the time. “I love what I do, and I do what I love.”
“I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79,” he added.
Stewart has long credited his fitness routine for helping him stay on the road.
“I keep myself very fit,” he told AARP last year. “I played soccer all my life — don’t so much anymore, because I had a knee replacement. And I’ve always had a trainer — same guy for 38 years.”
The singer added that he has a “massive” gym and an indoor pool at home, saying, “We 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.”
Stewart is scheduled to continue his “One Last Time” tour across the US throughout July and August, with the final date currently set for Aug. 15 in St. Louis.

Barry Manilow cancels Lexington, Kentucky concert minutes before show

Barry Manilow abruptly canceled his Tuesday night concert in Lexington, Ky., marking the second time the show has been postponed this year.
The “Copacabana” singer, 83, announced the cancelation just minutes before he was set to take the stage at Rupp Arena.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight’s show in Lexington has been rescheduled,” Manilow said on X at 6:19 p.m — 45 minutes before the 7 p.m. showtime.
He did not provide a reason for the last-minute postponement.
The show was originally scheduled for March 9 but was postponed as Manilow recovered from surgery for lung cancer.
As of Tuesday night, an abundance of standard tickets were still on sale for prices ranging from $39 to $578, though fan club tickets had previously sold out.
Rupp Arena said all previously purchased tickets will be honored once a new date is announced.
Page Six has reached out to Manilow’s reps for comment.
The Grammy winner is still expected to perform in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday.
The latest cancellation comes months after Manilow was forced to reshuffle several performances as he focused on his health.
Earlier this year, he postponed dates at Westgate Las Vegas after undergoing surgery following his lung cancer diagnosis.
In December, Manilow revealed that doctors had found a cancerous spot on his left lung.
“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early,” he told fans on Instagram. “That’s the good news.”
The singer said doctors believed the cancer had not spread but were conducting additional tests to confirm the diagnosis.
“So, that’s it. No chemo. No radiation,” he shared. “Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.”
The health scare also forced Manilow to postpone January dates on his “Christmas A Gift of Love” concert series.
“I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans. Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around,” he said at the time.
In March, Manilow reflected on how the diagnosis changed his perspective.
“You just don’t even think about [how fragile life is]. And suddenly, you have lung cancer,” he told People.
“But I’m still here. I’m not all here; there’s part of me that isn’t here — they took out a part of me, and now I’ve got to figure out, ‘What do I do?’”
The “Mandy” singer revealed the experience also prompted him to reflect on his life.
“It has really, really made me take stock of my life,” he said. “This made me stop and think about: Have I done what I wanted to do, and have I made people happy? Have I been a good friend?”
“And the answers are yes,” he added. “And as a matter of fact, there are more yeses than I ever thought.”

Meghan Markle makes a splash on her 45th birthday with poolside photos

Another candle on the cake.
Meghan Markle took to Instagram Tuesday to share photos of her jumping into a pool to celebrate her 45th birthday.
In the images, the Duchess of Sussex rocked a black one-piece bathing suit and sunglasses as she plunged into the water while holding a handful of birthday balloons.
“Thank you for the birthday love! 🎈,” she captioned the post, which was set to the tune of Cliff Richard and The Shadows’ 1963 hit, “Summer Holiday.”
Page Six exclusively reported that some of the royal family will acknowledge Markle’s birthday — while others may ignore her special day amid her ongoing estrangement from her husband Prince Harry’s family.
“[King Charles III] is a scrupulously polite man, and I’m quite certain he would wish to send his daughter-in-law his birthday wishes,” royal commentator Tom Sykes exclusively told us.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Page Six that the monarch, 77, would “quietly” send a birthday card or modest gift “through his staff” to the former “Suits” actress.
“Charles has always had a compassionate streak, and despite everything that’s happened, he has rarely gone out of his way to be overtly unkind toward Meghan,” Schofield told us. “A discreet gesture would be entirely in keeping with his character.”
However, Sykes believes Harry’s brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, will give Markle the cold shoulder.
“I don’t think they will be expecting any [birthday wishes] from Prince William and Catherine,” the author shared, adding that the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 44, will not acknowledge Markle’s birthday “in any capacity.”
Schofield added that the relationship between the As Ever founder and her in-laws “simply isn’t there anymore” after Markle and the Duke of Sussex, 41, quit the royal family in 2020.
“They believe Meghan played a significant role in the breakdown of family trust, and I think any suggestion that they’re secretly exchanging birthday wishes belongs more in the realm of wishful thinking than reality,” she claimed.
Harry and his wife have been easing back into Charles’ good graces.
The couple and their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, met privately with Harry’s dad and his wife, Queen Camilla, last month.
Though a source told Page Six that the reunion “wasn’t entirely warm and fuzzy,” the Invictus Games founder may stay in a room at Buckingham Palace when he returns to the UK in September.

No Way Home’ actress dead at 82

Actress Mary Rivera has died.
Rivera, known for her role in 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” as the character Ned Leeds’ Filipino grandmother, died in April after suffering a stroke. She was 82 years old.
A family member of Rivera’s told TMZ Monday that she was in a coma and that her family made the decision to pull her off life support after doctors told them that even if she woke up, her prognosis wouldn’t be good.
She died in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was cremated.
The family member noted that the late actress was “proud” of her role in the Marvel film, in which she spoke Tagalog and shared the screen with Tom Holland (Peter Parker / Spider-Man), Zendaya (MJ), and Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), as well as Andrew Garfield — who made a cameo in the movie, reprising his role as Peter Parker / Spider-Man.
In a memorable scene from the film, she asks Garfield to remove cobwebs on the ceiling in Tagalog. After Ned translates, he obliges her.
Ned asks him, “My lola [grandmother in Tagalog] is asking if you could just get the cobweb there, since you’re like, up there?”
Her role in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is her only role listed on her IMDB page.
Rivera is survived by her husband, Alejandro, her children, 11 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, according to her obituary.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” was critically acclaimed as well as a huge box office success — it grossed $1.9 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2021.
The film’s follow-up, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” — also starring Holland, Zendaya and Batalon — was released on Friday. It’s already smashed box office records, earning $360 million in its domestic debut.
It’s now officially ranked as the biggest debut in box office history.
As of now, there are no deals in place for another Spider-Man movie after “Brand New Day.” A Sony source recently told Page Six Hollywood that all of the “Spider-Man” film deals are done on a movie-by-movie basis — though it’s widely believed that Holland will appear in “Avengers: Doomsday” (out Dec. 18) or its 2027 sequel, “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
