Rod Stewart, a British rock and pop singer and songwriter, said in an interview that his son had collapsed at a football game and was rushed to the hospital following what was likely a heart attack.
Rod said his son Aiden, 11, collapsed while playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team, though the rock veteran did not reveal when this happened.
“We thought my boy had a heart attack,” Rod said in an interview with FourFourTwo magazine.
The 77-year-old singer said his son went ‘blue and unconscious’ during a game. It was later revealed that the kid had actually experienced a panic attack rather than 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.”
