It has to be the same manufacturer that makes his stomach pumps.

Sweet titty-farking Jeebus.
I may be needing oxygen soon myself, being old enough to remember that rumour.

And here I am walking and breathing on my own like a chump.

He's appearing this weekend (I believe) in a mid-sized town an hour south of where I live in Sweden. When I saw the flyer I just shook my head. Though I suppose it pays the bills better than I do.

Wonder what he'll do when he realizes he's downwind of the calf pens when he plays our county fair.

O2 is helpful but he'll still have to take the mask off to sing.
And now I've got this image of Rod poncing about the stage wearing a nasal cannula and dragging fifty feet of hose behind him. Or maybe he'll have a roadie follow him around wearing the O2 like scuba tanks.

his first three or so albums [69-1973 or so] are wicked awesome
"Every picture tells a story" is the best Stones [sounding] album they never wrote or recorded.

Golf clap. You may cross my lawn anytime.

I parlayed a similar story into a greenlit stomach pump headline last year; and I get the added bonus of giving a couple good friends of mine in this band a hearty ration of shiat.

/Don't worry guys. I wont show up drunk at one of your gigs with a stomach pump

During his tenure with The Faces & Jeff Beck, and early solo stuff, he was great. There were even a few good records from the 80s. I don't get why he doesn't just hang it up at this point. He's friggin' loaded.

If it were me, I'd drop the touring & recording all these cheesy old standards which are totally wrong for his voice anyway, and just bang my bevy of supermodels on my big pile of money. If I still wanted to sing, I'd get a pub band together or something.

Not a bad way to retire, actually.

Dude, even Kylie Minogue requests oxygen. A lot of riders include it. Not very unusual.
