Grammy-Winning Singer-Songwriter Ray LaMontagne Collapses on Stage in Nashville

His team said he is being treated for heat-related dehydration and is expected to perform in Louisville the next night.

  • On Saturday, Sept. 5, Grammy-winning singer Ray LaMontagne collapsed on stage at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium while performing his 2004 track "Jolene," forcing the concert to stop as crew members rushed to his side.
  • LaMontagne is performing his "Trouble" 20th Anniversary Tour, celebrating his 2004 debut album in full across Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Portland, and New York City after the tour kicked off Aug. 23 in Salt Lake City.
  • Local emergency medical personnel treated the 53-year-old for heat-related dehydration, with his team writing on Instagram Stories: "Ray is in good hands with the local EMS and is doing well now and is grateful for everyone's understanding."
  • Social media user Andrea Curtis reported the concert stopped at the second-to-last song, with one fan writing there was "something really unsettling about watching tonight unfold" after LaMontagne appeared to lose his place while singing "Hannah."
  • Despite the scare, LaMontagne's team said he is expected to continue touring and is "looking forward to being onstage in Louisville tomorrow night," with the Beacon Theatre in New York City scheduled as the final stop on Oct. 3.
