After the surprise appearance at a Billy Joel concert in Madison Square Garden, he suffered a health scare. He was having trouble breathing.

Perry had also collapsed onstage during the concert with Hollywood Vampires, his other band with Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper, in 2016. The guitarist shared last year,
