The son of Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster collapsed at a football match sparking fears he had suffered a heart attack. The singer revealed that young Aiden, 11, had gone blue and was rushed to hospital in the terrifying incident.
He had been playing for the Young Hoops Under 12s team when he suddenly became unwell. Sir Rod 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.”
Father of eight Rod explained his son “wanted to do well” and added Aiden had “pulled on the Hoops in Scotland for his dad.” Rod added to FourFourTwo magazine that another lad on the team fell backwards and banged his head, which caused another ambulance to be called.

He added: “In all of my days watching football, that’s the only time two ambulances had been called.” 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.
Just a week ago Sir Rod Stewart announced the death of his brother Bob, two months after the loss of his other brother, Don. The 77-year-old singer paid tribute on Instagram, sharing an image of a candle and the message “Rest in peace”.
He wrote: “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’.” His post prompted a wave of messages from fans who sent their condolences.
It comes after Sir Rod announced the death of Don in September, just 48 hours before that of the Queen. He wrote: “It has been a devastating 48 hours. We lost my brother Don on Tuesday at 94 and today we have all lost Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at 96.”
Sir Rod, the youngest of five children, also has two sisters – Peggy and Mary. The veteran rocker recently revealed he has been supporting a family of seven Ukrainian refugees by renting them a home and paying their bills.
Sir Rod broke his usual stance of not discussing his charitable work, saying he wanted to inspire others to help those from the war-torn country.
