Guitarist collapses on stage during Bryan Ferry concert
02.02.2004 7.10 am
A guitarist backing British entertainer Bryan Ferry collapsed on stage
apparently after a heart attack at his Auckland concert last night.
Ferry, oblivious to the attack, kept singing until the song had
finished.
Other band members saw the collapse but kept in time while five
roadies took the guitarist off to the side of the stage.
Fans saw the man, in his 50s, given CPR and taken away by ambulance
staff. He was in a stable condition in Auckland City Hospital early
today.
The band finished their set but Ferry did not comment to the audience
on what had happened.

Bryan Ferry's guitarist collapses on stage
02 February 2004
One of the guitarists for Bryan Ferry collapsed on stage after he had
a heart attack at the British singer's concert in Auckland last night.
Playing at the Civic Theatre just after 9pm, fans looked in shock as
the man collapsed and Ferry, oblivious to the attack, kept singing
until the song had finished.
The band mates, however, looked uncomfortable as they had seen the
attack but kept perfectly in time while five roadies dragged the
guitarist off to the side of the stage.
Fans saw the man, in his 50s, be given CPR and about 20 minutes later
saw him be stretchered off by ambulance staff. He was taken to
Auckland Hospital in a critical condition.
After Ferry realised one of his guitarist's was missing, the band
finished their set but Ferry never told fans what had happened to the
guitarist.
