Joe Perry was performing last night in Coney Island with Hollywood Vampires, when he suddenly left the stage and collapsed backstage during the first song. The Aerosmith guitarist was rushed to a Brooklyn Hospital after being transferred to Columbia Presbyterian.
Late last night his people Tweeted, “Thanks to all of the fans reaching out and asking about Joe. He is stable right now, with family and is under the best care.”
No word what caused the 65 year old to pass out or if the band will perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.
In the meantime, let’s send him our prayers for a quick recovery because Aerosmith is planning on hitting the road in September for at least one more time.
UPDATE: Alice Cooper says that the show will go on for Hollywood Vampires. He announced on Twitter, “Vampires! Confirmed – We WILL see you in Ohio tomorrow night & for the rest of our dates! Thanks for supporting Joe!”
But according to Tom Hamilton, it sounds like it will go on without Joe. The Aerosmith bassist said, “Thankfully, Joe seems to be better than we all first feared. Here’s hoping he’s back on stage soon doing what he loves to do!”
UPDATE 2: Blink 182 will perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert instead of Hollywood Vampires.
