Eagles rockstar Don Felder, 77, suffers medical problem on stage in worrying video-Kitty Chrisp-Entertainment – Metro

Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder was rushed off stage last night as he began singing the band’s classic hit Tequila Sunrise.

The 77-year-old rocker looked unsteady on his feet, and was escorted off stage as fans shouted their support.

The incident happened on Thursday evening on the Rock Legends Cruise, and footage shows Don talking about the origins of the hit song, starting to play, and then slowly trailing off while seeking assistance from backstage.

The video, posted on YouTube by fan Travel The World – who was in the crowd at the event – showed the whole incident play out in front of the shocked and supportive crowd.

Don’s team posted an update on Friday on his social media pages announcing he was suffering from ‘dehydration’ and is feeling ‘much better’.

‘We appreciate everyone’s concern regarding Don Felder’s abrupt stop to his show last night on the Rock Legends Cruise,’ they wrote.

‘After receiving medical attention he was deemed to be suffering from dehydration. He was given fluids, and is feeling much better.

‘To ensure he has ample time to rehydrate and recover fully, we are working on rescheduling today’s shows and adjusting the remainder of the cruise schedule accordingly.

‘Thank you for your understanding and remember – drink your water!’
