Perry, 65, was playing in Coney Island in Brooklyn with his
band the Hollywood Vampires, along with rocker Alice Cooper,
when he staggered off-stage and collapsed, media reports said.
Cooper said on Twitter hours later that Perry "is stable right
now, with family & is under the best care."
A Facebook account quoted Cooper as saying from stage "If you
notice one of our brothers is not onstage with us, he was very
sick before the show," Billboard magazine reported.
Perry himself posted on Twitter just hours before being taken
ill: "Warming up with Tommy. #HollywoodVampires @ Ford
Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk," along with a link to
photo of the pair playing.
