Don Felder recovering after onstage medical drama

Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder is recovering after he was abruptly rushed offstage after a medical emergency.

In a video shared by an attendee at a Rock Legends Cruise performance and posted by TMZ, the musician is seen introducing the Eagles classic, Tequila Sunrise. He shares the inspiration behind the song before beginning to strum his guitar to perform it.

He then appears to look to crew members on the side stage and lose his balance, before a member of his team and his bandmates help to escort him offstage.

Following the medical emergency, Felder's team shared an update on his Instagram Stories.

"We appreciate everyone's concern regarding Don Felder's abrupt stop to his show last night on the Rock Legends Cruise," the statement reads. "After receiving medical attention, he was deemed to be suffering from dehydration. He was given fluids and is feeling much better."

The statement continued that the remainder of Felder's cruise performances will be rescheduled to "ensure he has ample time to rehydrate and recover fully", before concluding, "Thank you for your understanding and remember - drink your water!"

Felder performed with the Eagles from 1974 to 2001, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the band in 1998.
