Johnny Depp band Hollywood Vampires cancels appearance

Johnny Depp’s band the Hollywood Vampires canceled its appearance on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” Monday after guitarist Joe Perry collapsed during a concert and was hospitalized the day before, People magazine said.

During a concert at the Ford Amphitheater on the Coney Island Boardwalk, Perry, 65, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with the group Aerosmith, slumped and then staggered offstage.

“Thanks to all of the fans reaching out and asking about Joe,” read a message late Sunday on Perry’s Twitter page. “He is stable right now, with family and is under the best care.”

An administrator at Coney Island Hospital confirmed the 65-year-old Perry had undergone tests. Further details were not released. “Joe Perry is doing well and resting and appreciates all your good wishes,” said the group’s representative, Sujata Murthy.
