Fans have been in a frenzy after a video began circulating showing Don Felder having a medical emergency in the middle of his performance earlier this week.

The former Eagles guitarist was ready to give an unforgettable performance for his fans who were excited to see him live on Thursday night (February 13).

Felder had just finished explaining the story behind the song Tequila Sunrise during a Rock Legends Cruise performance when he had a medical emergency on stage.

In a video that has been shared on YouTube, the guitarist began performing the song, much to the delight of fans, before he was seen starting to sway back and forth. He then stopped playing and attempted to walk up to the mic before a woman backstage came to collect him.

She and a team of other people then ushed the rocker off the stage, with fans voicing their concern and cheering after one fan shouted that they loved the musician.

His fans also took to social media to wish him well.

One YouTube user said: “I hope he heals up real quick. Tip of the hat to the considerate crowd !!”

Another added: “That's hard to watch. Hope he's okay. One of my fondest memories of the Eagles was that live video of Don and Walsh trading licks back and forth at the end of Hotel California.”

A third commented: “I just hate that for him. I met him once backstage. Such a great guy and talented musician!️ Praying it was only dehydration and he’s all well soon. Love you Don!”

A concerned fan also added: “This kinda stuff makes me squirm in my seat... It really freaks me out. Like literally trying to hold on for dear life, even though it's not happening to me. - But luckily he had assistance right away. I mean, it looks like the woman caught his signal immediately.”

Felder’s team gave a health update on his Instagram page and explained that he was simply dehydrated.

“After receiving medical attention he was deemed to be suffering from dehydration. He was given fluids and is feeling much better.

“To ensure he has ample time to rehydrate and recover fully, we are working on rescheduling today’s show and adjusting the remainder of the cruise schedule accordingly.

"Thank you for your understanding, and remember - drink your water!”
