COLLAPSED
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry rushed to hospital after performance in New York City

TMZ — Joe Perry was wheeled out of Madison Square Garden on a stretcher Saturday night after performing with Billy Joel.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ, Joe had just finished “Walk This Way” with Billy Joel on stage and went back to his dressing room. A source connected with the concert tells TMZ, Joe collapsed and “looked terrible.”

Paramedics rushed to the scene and worked on the 68-year-old for around 40 minutes in his dressing room. We’re told they put a tracheal tube down his throat to clear the airway. There was panic in the dressing room, and one eyewitness says “Joe did not look good.”

Paramedics put the famed Aerosmith guitarist on a stretcher, gave him oxygen and rushed him to a hospital.

We’re told Billy Joel was still on stage in the final minutes of his concert and was unaware of the emergency. Paramedics and security had to clear a path to get out of MSG because there were so many people around.
