Country hitmaker Randy Travis reportedly collapsed onstage in Fort Worth, Texas while performing at the Huguley Memorial Medical Center’s 18th annual Crystal Heart Gala last Sunday night. He didn't need to be taken to the hospital, and after some rest, is doing well now.

 

The Burleson Star reported, Travis was in the middle of performing his hit song ‘Three Wooden Crosses’ when he stopped and told the crowd, “My vocal chords are giving out on me.” His band continued to play, but when randy tried to join in on the chorus, he fell face forward onto the stage. Thank goodness, several doctors were there and were able to rush to his assistance. A couple of minutes later, Travis got up and gave a thumbs up to the audience then left the stage.

DFW.com checked in with Travis’ tour manager, Jeff Davis,  Monday after the incident. He said that Randy did collapse, but is doing fine now. “He is all right,” Davis said. “He had a bad reaction to some allergy medicine he took earlier in the day; it had some decongestant in it. The doctors said a cup of coffee and the decongestant combined [to cause the collapse], and it was one of those weird things. The doctors checked him out and he was fine. They examined him immediately and helped him how he needed to be helped. It was just very unfortunate timing.”

An official statement later released by Travis’ public relations group reiterated Davis’ comments: “Mr. Travis was overcome by a combination of dehydration, over-the-counter allergy medications and caffeine use. This, combined with the heat of the stage lights, caused him to pass out.”
