Rock pioneer Chuck Berry startled fans Saturday night (Jan. 1) when he unexpectedly collapsed during his set at the Congress Theater in Chicago.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer fell head-first into his keyboards about an hour into the event. Berry was motionless for several minutes before three people helped move him off stage shortly before 10:30PM. Fans, reportedly close to 3,700 of them, began to exit the venue, unsure if the entertainer would make his way back onstage. About 20 minutes after his collapse, the 84-year-old ‘Johnny B. Goode’ creator returned, though most of the audience had cleared out.
Berry began to tune up his guitar and make a second attempt at completing his performance but was unsuccessful once again, apologizing to the remainder of those in the crowd and revealing he had no strength. He then demonstrated a weak variation of his legendary duck walk as he left the stage.
