Alexa Ray Joel collapsed over the weekend at one of her NYC concert performances. Joel, the daughter of Billy Joel Christie Brinkley was performing a sold-out show at the Cafe Carlyle when she lost consciousness according to People. She was rushed to the New York Presbyterian Hospital emergency room where she was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, a condition that blocks blood from flowing to the brain and causes fainting, her rep told People. She is doing well. Her rep added, “Ms. Joel was taken ill earlier in the afternoon and announced from stage that she pulled out her back and neck, but wanted the show to go on.” She will not need additional treatment!
“I wanted to thank everyone for coming out to support me,” Joel said in a statement. “I was excited and determined to fulfill my final performance and I really wanted to end my run with a bang, but this was not what I had in mind and hope I have the opportunity to make it up to the wonderful audience very soon. Thanks for all the concern.”
