Photo: Ray LaMontagne tour | Article by Saman Shafiq, USA Today | Singer Ray LaMontagne collapsed on stage in Nashville while performing during his ongoing “Trouble” 20th Anniversary Tour. Video footage shared by social media users shows the Grammy winner, 53, strumming his guitar while singing his 2004 track “Jolene” at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium Sept. 5 when he suddenly started grunting and grabbed the mic stand before collapsing and falling backward as crew members rushed to his side.
Social media user Andrea Curtis, who posted a video from the concert on Instagram, said the concert stopped second to last song after LaMontagne collapsed.
While LaMontagne’s reps did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for an update on his health, People and Consequence reported, the singer’s team, in a now-deleted Instagram story said he suffered from dehydration.

[Please, folks – Our resident Doctorate Nurse, Dr. Annette Cannon, says to drink plenty of water, especially if you’re performing outdoors in the sun or in a hot room. She says a lot of fainting and collapsing spells can be avoided if you’re properly hydrated!]
