Footage posted online by fans showed Perry staggering off stage mid-song, while the band continued to play.
An administrator at Coney Island Hospital confirmed Perry had undergone tests after becoming ill while performing with the Hollywood Vampires at the Ford Amphitheater in Brooklyn’s Coney Island. A tweet from Perry’s official account said, “Thanks to all of the fans reaching out and asking about Joe”.
A representative for the band said that Perry “will rejoin his fellow Vampires onstage again soon”.
“Confirmed – We WILL see you in OH tomorrow night and for the rest of our dates!”
The band, however, scrapped an appearance Monday on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, with alternative rockers Blink-182 filling in.

Aerosmith’s Tom Hamilton tweeted about Perry Monday, saying he was on the mend. “But I was always a loner anyway, so it didn’t bother me much”, he said.
