Aerosmith Guitarist Joe Perry Collapses Onstage

Rock legend Joe Perry is 65 years old and still rocking — but the Aerosmith guitarist had to stagger offstage while performing with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp. The former addict has been touring with the two as part of the supergroup The Hollywood Vampires. A show at Coney Island in NYC, however, had fans freaking out after Joe struggled to keep upright during a show on July 10!

Rock legend Joe Perry is 65 years old and still rocking — but the Aerosmith guitarist had to stagger offstage while performing with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp. The former addict has been touring with the two as part of the supergroup The Hollywood Vampires. A show at Coney Island in NYC, however, had fans freaking out after Joe struggled to keep upright during a show on July 10!

Joe quickly fell ill just as their band hit the stage — suffering what doctors later revealed to be a cardiac arrest while the Vampires launched into opening song "Raise the Dead," with Alice singing: "Can't you feel the heat? Cardiac heart attack!"

The veteran rocker was able to walk offstage, and paramedics were quickly called. Meanwhile, a stunned Alice could only look to see where his band member had gone, before walking over to warn Johnny that the movie star was now carrying the show!

Police were soon guarding the entrance as Joe was taken to nearby Coney Island Hospital, with fans quickly assured via social media that the rock star was in stable condition and with family.

Like his bandmate Alice, hard-living Joe has a long history of alcohol abuse.  As reported in The National ENQUIRER, friends have been hoping that Johnny Depp would be encouraged in his own struggle with addictions by rocking out with his (now) straight and sober pals!

A somber Johnny, still enduring the fallout from his dirty divorce case with wife Amber Heard, was later seen arriving back at his hotel — where he quickly headed inside without comment on the night's brutal big finish!
