I hope he's ok. I've met him several times, he's a good guy. He's best friends w/ an old boss of mine.

1. They said it was due to exhaustion, not life threatening

I can't believe he's 56!

2. Yeah, well that's a pretty "standard" explanation

in the business. It doesn't mean it's true...

4. Didn't he collapse a few years ago on stage as well?

I might be getting my aging Rock Singers mixed up though.

9. I saw an interview with him, he pretty much used to drive himself to this

point almost ever performance. It was standard practice to have oxygen ready backstage. He really gives it his all and I have a feeling if the end ever did come this way, it would be exactly as he would wish it. He is one a very few REAL performers.

5. Yeah thats too bad

I feel like he and i are practically related. I mean i sat next to him at the Commmanders Palace Resturant in New Orleans, We were on our Honeymoon and he was filming a movie there. Since then we have been best buddies and he stays the night when he's in town but eats everything in sight. Amazingly he hates meat loaf though.
