Rapper Tone Loc collapsed after performing at an outdoor concert in Florida this morning (5/29). He lost consciousness during a concert on Pensacola Beach at Capt'n Fun Beach Club. Reports say that the incident may be the result of a seizure brought on by overheating. Also, sources say that the rapper had just been complaining about the heat and humidity before he passed out. In addition to passing out, he also busted his elbow in the fall, leading to alot of blood loss. Fans and medical staff came together to help rush the rapper to the hospital. The venue where the concert took place is known for it's extreme heat conditions. No further info is available at this time. As things continue to develop, I'll report back.
I hope Tone is okay. I read about the venue and I do not understand why they don't have some type of cooling system for the stage area at least. I have heard that stage settings can get extremely hot, so couple that with the weather, and that should be an obvious hazard. Guess it's just good that they got him medical help right away. My thoughts are with him for a quick and safe recovery.
**Update: Tone Loc was checked out of the hospital yesterday, a few hours after his collapse. Reports say that stress due to flight issues and the extreme heat are what caused the rapper to fall out. His people report that he is indeed recovering quite well. No word from the rapper himself has been released at this time.
Well, this is great news. I am happy to know that the man is doing alright. -MinM
