  "account": "Ray LaMontagne experienced a collapse on stage during his concert at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on Saturday night, forcing the show to end prematurely. His management disclosed that the singer-songwriter was being treated for heat-related dehydration and is currently \"doing well.\" Fan-shot footage from the performance on September 5th shows LaMontagne falling to the stage during his set, particularly towards the end, before those nearby swiftly intervened to aid him. The incident took place while he was singing his song \"Jolene.\" After being assisted from the stage, the concert came to a halt early.\n\nEarlier in the set, LaMontagne twice stopped during \"Hannah\" after seemingly losing his place, then apologized to the audience before continuing. Shortly after, he left the stage briefly before returning to commence \"Jolene.\" Post-show, several concert-goers commented on the Ryman's unusually high temperature that evening. LaMontagne's team released an update via his Instagram Story about the incident. \"Thank you to everyone who came out to tonight’s show at the Ryman,\" the statement read. \"Ray is in good hands with the local EMS and is being treated for heat related dehydration, he is doing well now and is grateful for everyone's understanding.\" They added that LaMontagne \"is looking forward to being onstage in Louisville tomorrow night.\" He is set to perform at the Louisville Palace on Sunday, September 6th, as part of his \"Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour.\" The Ryman concert was the second night of the two-night run at the Ryman during LaMontagne's rescheduled anniversary tour, where he performed Trouble in its entirety alongside material from throughout his discography. The Weather Station served as support for the run.",
