Aerosmith Guitarist Joe Perry In Hospital After Collapsing On Stage

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) — Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry spent the night in the hospital after he collapsed on stage while performing in New York City late Sunday night.

Perry became ill around 9:30 p.m. while performing with Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper in his side band, the Hollywood Vampires, at Ford Amphitheater in Brooklyn's Coney Island.

An administrator at Coney Island Hospital confirmed the 65-year-old Perry was taken there for tests.

According to CBS News, he was later taken to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan.

Hollywood Vampires record label rep Sujata Murthy says Perry is "stable and resting."

Cooper also tweeted "our brother" Perry is stable and with family.

A video posted by a fan on social media shows Perry sitting down on stage and then walking off in the middle of a song.

The band continued playing after Perry left the stage.

Hollywood Vampires is scheduled to appear on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Monday night.

There's no word yet if they will still play.
