Don Felder Suffers ‘Medical Episode’ During Cruise Ship Gig

Former

Eagles
musician

Don
Felder
required
medical
attention
during
his
recent
performance
aboard
a
cruise
ship.

The
gig
was
part
of
the
Rock
Legends
Cruise,
the
annual
seafaring
festival
which
departed
from
Miami
on
Thursday.
In
addition
to
Felder,
this
year’s
lineup
includes

Alice
Cooper,

Styx,

John
Waite,

Foghat
and

Robin
Trower.

Felder’s
Thursday
night
set
started
typically
enough,
as
the
veteran
rocker
delivered
such
classic
tunes
as
“One
of
These
Nights”
and
“Peaceful
Easy
Feeling.”
However,
during
the
seventh
song
of
his
set, “Tequila
Sunrise,”
Felder
became
visibly
unsteady.
The
singer
appeared
to
stumble
as
he
approached
the
microphone
and
medical
professionals
quickly
came
to
his
aid.
The
rocker
needed
help
to
walk
offstage,
as
concerned
audience
members
looked
on.
Video
of
the
incident
can
be
watched
below.
