Yahoo News Katy Perry collapses on set during American Idol auditions after a gas leak in the building
There's a scary situation on Sunday's (February 23) episode of American Idol, as judge Katy Perry collapses on set.
In a preview clip for the episode shared by People, judges Katy, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie are forced to halt auditions due to a gas leak in the building.
In the clip, Katy is heard saying: "Do you guys smell gas? It’s pretty intense."
Luke also tells producers: "We’re getting heavy propane."
Katy then gets up to leave the studio as she tells them, "I have a slight headache from it. Oh it’s bad, it’s really bad."
The clip shows Firefighters outside the studio as the judges, crew and contestants gather outside wondering what's going on as the building is evacuated.
"This is not a joke, there really is a gas leak," country singer Luke says, as Katy then declares: "I’m not feeling good," before collapsing to the ground.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem like she sustained any injuries, though fans will have to tune into the episode to see what happened in full.
