Witnesses told ABC’s WABC-TV in New York that the guitarist had walked off stage during the gig before collapsing.

Fan footage shows that moment, with one writing on their Instagram video: “#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 [sic]”.

An official told ABC News that he was first taken to Coney Island Hospital’s emergency room before being transferred to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
