NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has been hospitalized after reportedly collapsing backstage at a Billy Joel concert.
Reports say that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer performed his band’s hit “Walk This Way” with Joel at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Afterwards, we went backstage and collapsed in his dressing room.
Paramedics were called and operated on Perry for close to 40 minutes at the scene. A tracheal tube was reportedly placed down his throat in order to clear an air path.
“Joe did not look good,” a witness told the publication. source
He was then placed on a stretcher, put on oxygen and taken to a hospital. It was apparently a struggle to get Perry, who is also a member of The Hollywood Vampires, out of the venue due the throngs of people in and around the arena.
Joel was allegedly unaware of Perry’s medical scare until after the show ended.
Perry’s current condition was not provided.
