Felder, 77, experienced a medical episode mid-performance, prompting concern from fans and bandmates. His manager, Charlie Brusco, clarified that Felder suffered from dehydration and received immediate medical attention. Following a brief quarantine period mandated by cruise protocols, Felder was able to resume performing, much to the relief of his followers.
The incident occurred during Felder's rendition of "Tequila Sunrise." Video footage shows Felder momentarily losing his balance before being assisted offstage. Crew members and fellow musicians quickly responded, while the audience showed their support with applause and encouraging words.
Following the incident, updates were posted on Felder's social media, assuring fans of his improving condition. The cruise organizers also addressed the situation, emphasizing their commitment to Felder's well-being and adjusting the schedule to allow for his full recovery. They also reminded attendees of the importance of hydration.
Felder, renowned for his contributions to the Eagles, notably composing the melody for their iconic hit "Hotel California," enjoyed a successful tenure with the band from 1974 to 2001. During this period, the Eagles garnered numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards, five No. 1 singles, and six No. 1 albums.
