Brian Setzer Collapses in Concert, Hospitalized

http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/15/brian-setzer-collapses-in-concert-hospitalized/

Brian Setzer has been discharged from a New Mexico hospital after reportedly collapsing during a concert last night.

According to KOB.com, Setzer -- leader of the Brian Setzer Orchestra -- was two songs into his set at the Isleta Casino when he walked off stage appearing "shakey" ... and immediately collapsed off-stage.

TMZ has learned Setzer was rushed to Heart Hospital of New Mexico -- but he's since been discharged.

Setzer is set to perform in Phoenix, AZ tonight -- so far, that show is still set to go on as planned.]/div]

Love his work.

2. I'm glad I didn't get tickets for tonight's show.

I was thinking about it. Who knows if he'll show up?

Hope he's doing ok though. I love his music.

3. I 'd been planning to go but then heard it was sold out...

glad to hear he's out of the hospital and apparently OK. Occasionally performers have trouble with the altitude ( we're a mile high here just like Denver, but Gatemouth Brown is the only performer I've seen that had a lot of trouble dealing with it) but Setzer's been here plenty of times before with no problems.

4. The band really pushes themselves this time of year...

their Holiday show is a top seller. I hope he can catch a breather.

Stay healthy, Setzer

5. Good vibes, Setz!

You're one of my faves.

6. Get better - not many can play like you do, and no one does it as well.

Take a day off (Of course he won't.)
