Brian Setzer, the Grammy Award winning front man/guitarist for the Stray Cats and the Brian Setzer Orchestra, collapsed while performing at Isleta Casino, just south of Albuquerque New Mexico Monday night.Audience members report that Setzer was about two songs into his initial set when he walked off stage appearing shaky.
An Isleta employee says that Setzer collapsed after leaving the stage and was rushed to Heart Hospital of New Mexico -- but he's since been discharged.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that concert goers can get a full refund and have two weeks to collect it. Setzer is set to perform in Phoenix, AZ tonight -- so far, that show is still set to go on as planned.
Update : Setzer has posted on his website that his brief collapse and hospitalization was the result of dehydration, high altitude and vertigo, a combination that made it impossible for him "to continue his performance at the Isleta Casino after several songs." It continues on to say that "Brian has completely recovered and will perform tonight at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, AZ, and will continue with the remainder of the tour uninterrupted."
