Setzer is currently on his annual Christmas tour with the Brian Setzer Orchestra. According to Albuquerque television station KOB, Setzer appeared “shakey” as he left the stage. He was rushed to Heart Hospital of New Mexico but has since been discharged.

His official website mentions nothing about the incident and still lists his tour date scheduled for Phoenix, Ariz. tonight. No statement has been given as to whether or not the show is set to be canceled. As of right now he is still set to perform.

One concertgoer, Mike Anderson, told RadarOnline.com that the former Stray Cats frontman became visibly ill-looking 20 minutes into his show.

"Suddenly, he turned to his right and fell to his hands and knees before laying his guitar down on the stage and walking shakily away towards the right. We could see people at the side of the stage help him to the nearby stairway and he looked very shaken-up."
