Guitarist Joe Perry Collapses On Stage

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry remains hospitalized Monday after he collapsed on stage during a performance in Brooklyn.

According to CBS Local, Perry was transferred to Columbia Presbyterian hospital overnight where his band mates say he’s surrounded by family and friends after quite the scare Sunday night during a concert in Coney Island.

Around 9:30 p.m., Perry was performing with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp as part of his side band, the Hollywood Vampires, at the Ford Amphitheater when he suddenly became ill.

Fans described him as dizzy and stumbling off stage

“He sat down on the drum riser and the next thing you know, he was gone,” fan Amanda Howard said. “I guess he went behind the amplifiers and we just didn’t see him come back.”

“I saw him playing and then he just fell behind Alice,” said fan Ashley Cummins.

Cell phone video shows crew members tending to Perry, carrying him off stage. He was taken to Coney Island Hospital in critical but stable condition.
