Singer Ray LaMontagne gave fans a scare after suddenly collapsing on stage during a concert in Nashville.
The Grammy-winning musician, 53, was performing at the historic Ryman Auditorium on Sept. 5 as part of his ongoing “Trouble” 20th Anniversary Tour when the frightening moment unfolded.
Video shared by concertgoers on social media shows LaMontagne strumming his guitar and singing his 2004 song “Jolene” before he suddenly appeared to struggle.
The singer could be heard grunting as he grabbed onto the microphone stand, then collapsed and fell backward on stage. Crew members immediately rushed over to help him.
Concertgoer Andrea Curtis, who posted footage from the show on Instagram, said the performance was stopped during the second-to-last song after LaMontagne went down.
LaMontagne’s representatives did not immediately provide USA TODAY with a health update, but his team reportedly addressed the incident in a now-deleted Instagram Story.
According to People and Consequence, the singer was treated for heat-related dehydration.
“Thank you to everyone who came out to tonight’s show at the Ryman,” LaMontagne’s team reportedly wrote. “Ray is in good hands with the local EMS and is being treated for heat related dehydration, he is doing well now and is grateful for everyone’s understanding.”
His team also said LaMontagne was already looking ahead to his next performance.
“He is looking forward to being onstage in Louisville tomorrow night,” the statement added.
The Nashville show was the second of two concerts LaMontagne performed at the Ryman on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5.
The singer is currently touring to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, “Trouble,” which was released in 2004 and helped launch his career.
LaMontagne later won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2011 for “God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise.”
His anniversary tour kicked off Aug. 23 in Salt Lake City and is scheduled to continue through several major U.S. cities, including Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston and Portland.
New York City is scheduled to be the final stop on the tour.
The dramatic collapse understandably alarmed fans inside the Ryman, but the message from LaMontagne’s team offered some reassurance, saying he was doing well after receiving treatment from local emergency medical personnel.
