Rod Stewart's 11-year-old son was rushed to hospital during a medical episode that the musician thought at the time was a heart attack.
Speaking to FourFourTwo, the 'Sailing' singer recalled how his youngest child Aiden was hospitalized after "going blue and unconscious" while playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team.
"We thought my boy had a heart attack," the 77-year-old music legend said. "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 added.
Stewart did not mention when the incident took place but went on to say that there was another medical incident at the match.
"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," he said.
Stewart shares Aiden and 17-year-old Alastair with wife Penny Lancaster, whom he married in 2007.
He also has a 59-year-old daughter Sarah, whom he and his former girlfriend Susannah Boffey gave up for adoption when they were teenagers. He has a son Sean, 42, and daughter Kimberly, 43, with his former wife Alana Stewart; a daughter Ruby, 35, with ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg; and daughter Renee, 30, and Liam, 28, with ex-wife Rachel Hunter.
In 2021, the Grammy-winning artist spoke to People about his parenting methods, telling the outlet: "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 went on: "For instance, my 15-year-old is dating girls, so I had to give him a sex lesson. I just told him what he should and shouldn't do, but he's on top of it. He was like, 'Dad, I've got the internet. I know everything.'"
The musician added: "All the [older] kids went through their little bad period of drinking too much and dabbling in drugs — except for Liam; I don't think he ever did — but they all came out on the other side. As a dad, I've learned to listen and not blow my top."
