Perry was rushed to Coney Island hospital before being treated at Columbia Presbyterian in Manhattan, before being discharged and sent back to his California home to rest where his is now stable.
The tour is slated to continue in Rohnert Park, California and will run for three additional dates that are scheduled with one in OR and two more in California.
Perry, 65, reportedly walked off stage only to collapse last week in Coney Island while performing with the Hollywood Vampires, a side project for the Aerosmith guitarist. Sources say that Perry’s condition was caused by “a combination of dehydration and exhaustion”.
As Cooper notes in his tweet, Perry will continue through to the end of the tour. They’re doing like eight or nine shows in a row, or five in a row. Footage from the concert shows Perry staggering off stage, with Cooper telling fans at the show that Perry had been “very sick” before the concert.
The website Blabbermouth shared a quote from The Pulse of Radio by Perry’s Aerosmith bandmate Steven Tyler regarding the toll that the tour was taking on the guitarist: “I think he’s out there and someone’s over-booking him”, he said. And I think they’re all a little burnt.
“I know my brother”.
