Rod Stewart Breaks Silence After 11-Year-old Son’s Hospitalization: ‘Thought It Was Heart Attack'

Rod Stewart spoke up about the recent health scare he and his family faced with his son.

In an exclusive interview with FourFourTwo, Stewart revealed that his youngest child, 11-year-old Aiden, was rushed to a hospital after losing consciousness and turning blue. The incident reportedly happened while the child was playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team.

According to the 77-year-old musician, he and his family were extremely worried as they thought Aiden suffered 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," he explained.

The "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" crooner did not reveal when exactly the event happened. But he added that another emergency event occurred at that time.

Stewart said that one boy hit his head when he fell backward. With that, it reportedly became the only day he watched football when he saw two ambulances in the area.

He shares Aiden and Alastair with his wife, Penny Lancaster. They got married in 2007.

Aside from worrying about his son, Stewart also spent days mourning his two brothers' death.

The singer's siblings, Bob and Don, died within two months. The British crooner revealed on Instagram that his brother Bob joined Don "on the great football pitch in the sky."

He previously confirmed that his brother Don died at the age of 94 in September.

How Rod Stewart Manages Time, Life With 8 Kids

Stewart also has six other kids: Sarah, Sean, Kimberly, Ruby, Renee, and Liam.

In an interview with PEOPLE in 2021, the "I Don't Want To Talk About It" singer opened up about his parenting styles and how he created a method to take care of them.

"I have to be several different fathers because of the different age groups of my kids. You really have to treat all of them as individuals with individual problems," he said.

For instance, he gave a lesson to his 15-year-old kid when he learned that he already started dating. He reportedly shared what his child should and should not do about it.

Although he had failed relationships in the past, Stewart expressed how lucky and happy he is whenever he sees his kids and his wife smiling.
