Fans were left shocked and concerned after legendary Eagles guitarist Don Felder suffered a medical emergency during a live performance earlier this week.

Felder, 76, was performing on the Rock Legends Cruise on Thursday (February 13), when the incident occurred.

He had just finished explaining the story behind Tequila Sunrise and was about to perform the song when he suddenly appeared unwell.

Disturbing Onstage Moment Caught on Video

In a now-viral video circulating on YouTube, Felder can be seen strumming his guitar before he begins to sway back and forth. Moments later, he stops playing and attempts to walk toward the microphone, but his movements appear unsteady.

The moment can be seen below (Warning – some viewers may find the footage upsetting):

A woman from backstage quickly came to his aid, rushing onto the stage to assist him. Moments before she appeared, it appears as if Felder was attempting to mouth something to her.

She, along with other crew members, escorted him off as concerned fans watched in silence before breaking into cheers of support.

One audience member shouted, “We love you, Don!” as the musician was led away.

Fans React with Concern and Support

After the unsettling footage surfaced, fans flooded social media with messages of support for Felder.

“I hope he heals up real quick. Tip of the hat to the considerate crowd!!” one YouTube user wrote.

Another commented: “That’s hard to watch. Hope he’s okay. One of my fondest memories of the Eagles was that live video of Don and Walsh trading licks back and forth at the end of Hotel California.”

A third person shared: “I just hate that for him. I met him once backstage. Such a great guy and talented musician! Praying it was only dehydration and he’s all well soon. Love you Don!”

One fan, visibly shaken by the video, added: “This kinda stuff makes me squirm in my seat… It really freaks me out. Like literally trying to hold on for dear life, even though it’s not happening to me. But luckily, he had assistance right away. It looks like the woman caught his signal immediately.”

Felder’s Team Issues a Health Update

Following the scare, Felder’s team took to Instagram to reassure fans that the guitarist was doing better and had suffered from dehydration.

“We appreciate everyone’s concern regarding Don Felder’s abrupt stop to his show last night on the Rock Legends Cruise,” the statement read.

“After receiving medical attention, he was deemed to be suffering from dehydration. He was given fluids and is feeling much better. To ensure he has ample time to rehydrate and recover fully, we are working on rescheduling today’s show and adjusting the remainder of the cruise schedule accordingly.

“Thank you for your understanding, and remember—drink your water!”

Who Is Don Felder?

Felder is a legendary American musician and songwriter, best known for his time as the lead guitarist of the Eagles.

Joining the band in 1974, Felder played a crucial role in shaping their signature sound. He co-wrote the iconic hit Hotel California and contributed his masterful guitar work to classics like One of These Nights and Take It to the Limit.

Felder remained with the Eagles until 2001, during which the band became one of the best-selling acts in music history. After parting ways with the group, he pursued a solo career, releasing albums like Road to Forever and American Rock ‘N’ Roll, while continuing to tour and perform live.

Beyond music, Felder is also a published author. His memoir, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles, details his time with the band, his struggles with addiction, and his journey through the highs and lows of rock stardom.

While fans were understandably shaken by the onstage emergency, Felder’s quick recovery is a relief — and his legendary career proves that even rock and roll icons aren’t invincible to a little dehydration.
