Joe Perry, Aerosmith guitarist and member of supergroup the Hollywood Vampires, collapsed while performing in Brooklyn last night. 

Perry was performing with band mates Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper at around 9:40 p.m. in the Coney Island Boardwalk Amphitheater when he fell ill and had to be rushed to the hospital. According to a report by NBC, Perry passed out behind the speakers when he was finally off stage.
