Following the incident, Cooper tweeted out a a photo of Perry accompanied by an update, saying that the rock n’ roll star is “stable” and with family.

Oh no! Joe Perry was performing in Coney Island with the Hollywood Vampires on July 10 when he collapsed to the floor in the middle of the show.

He has since stabilized after initial reports that he was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The band features a number of touring musicians, but Depp, Perry and Cooper are the three core band members.

Video taken by a fan at the show showed Perry slumped on a drum kit onstage, then staggering offstage, where he collapsed.
