Overview
- Ray LaMontagne collapsed mid-performance of 'Jolene' at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Saturday, Sept. 5, in fan-shot video that shows him lose his balance and fall backward.
- His management said he was being treated for heat-related dehydration and was 'doing well' under the care of local EMS.
- Crew members and nearby people assisted him onstage and the concert ended early after he was helped offstage.
- Reports that he was taken to a nearby hospital are limited and not consistently confirmed, and he returned to perform at the Louisville Palace on Sunday, Sept. 6.
- The incident occurred during LaMontagne's Trouble 20th Anniversary tour, several attendees reported the venue felt unusually hot, and the episode may prompt closer attention to cooling and emergency response at older indoor venues.
