Former Eagles musician Don Felder required medical attention during his recent performance aboard a cruise ship.
The gig was part of the Rock Legends Cruise, the annual seafaring festival which departed from Miami on Thursday. In addition to Felder, this year’s lineup includes Alice Cooper, Styx, John Waite, Foghat and Robin Trower.
Felder’s Thursday night set started typically enough, as the veteran rocker delivered such classic tunes as “One of These Nights” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling.”
However, during the seventh song of his set, “Tequila Sunrise,” Felder became visibly unsteady. The singer appeared to stumble as he approached the microphone, and medical professionals quickly came to his aid. The rocker needed help to walk offstage as concerned audience members looked on.

“Don experienced a medical episode last night during the show. He received medical attention and was deemed to be suffering from dehydration,” he explained.
“By medical rules of the cruise, he’ll be in quarantine for the next 24 hours to rest. Arrangements are being made for him to play on Saturday and Sunday.”
The Rock Legends Cruise runs until Feb. 17. Felder has an assortment of performances lined up in March and April, before hitting the road for a nationwide tour with Styx and Kevin Cronin beginning in May.

Eagles founder Glenn Frey lived the good life. The legendary singer and guitarist and his wife lived in a 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom, 9,000-square-foot Spanish mansion in a very high-dollar area of Los Angeles, which sold for just under $15 million after Frey’s death in January of 2016.
