Ray LaMontagne collapses onstage in Nashville, treated for dehydration

Singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne collapsed onstage during a concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, cutting the show short and prompting treatment for heat-related dehydration, according to his management team.

The 53-year-old Grammy winner was performing his 2004 song “Jolene” — near the end of the set — when he reached for the microphone stand and fell backward as crew members rushed to help him off stage, according to fan-recorded video from the concert. Earlier in the show, Mr. LaMontagne had twice paused during his song “Hannah” after apparently losing his place, apologizing to the crowd before continuing.

Mr. LaMontagne’s team addressed the incident in an Instagram Story, saying he was being treated for heat-related dehydration and was “doing well now.” The statement added that he was looking forward to performing the following night in Louisville, Kentucky, and he went on to play that show as scheduled.

Several concertgoers said afterward that the historic venue had felt unusually hot that evening.

The Nashville show was the second of two nights Mr. LaMontagne played at the Ryman as part of his “Trouble” 20th Anniversary Tour, which finds him performing his 2004 debut album in full alongside songs from across his catalog. The tour opened Aug. 23 in Salt Lake City and is scheduled to run through early October, with stops including Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston and a run of shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre.

Mr. LaMontagne won the Grammy Award for best contemporary folk album in 2011 for “God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise.” He has released nine studio albums since debuting with “Trouble” in 2004.
