Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry collapsed during a show with supergroup Hollywood Vampires last night (Sunday, July 11).

The group – which on the night included members Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper – were playing a gig at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island, New York when the incident occurred.

Video footage from the gig (scroll below to watch) sees Perry stumbling off the stage. He reportedly lost consciousness and collapsed backstage, later being transported to a nearby hospital.


#JoePerry collapsed on stage just now! He had to sit on drum kit and then went behind a small wall and passed out. FDNY and NYPD carried him off quickly. #Aerosmith #hollywoodvampires A video posted by Eileen (@leeniepics) on Jul 10, 2016 at 6:33pm PDT

Cooper told fans at the gig that Perry had been “very sick” before the show, later tweeting that Perry was “stable” and “under the best care”.

“Joe Perry is stable and resting,” a representative for the group told Rolling Stone. “His brother Vampires and fans wish him a speedy recovery.”

Thanks to everyone asking about our brother @JoePerry. He is stable right now, with family & is under the best care pic.twitter.com/oxCRUqRAk6 — Alice Cooper (@alicecooper) July 11, 2016 Advertisement
