Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder abruptly rushed offstage after suffering medical emergency
"Don experienced a medical episode last night during the show. He received medical attention and was deemed to be suffering from dehydration," Felder's manager, Charlie Brusco, told Fox News Digital.
"By medical rules of the cruise, he'll be in quarantine for the next 24 hours to rest. Arrangements are being made for him to play on Saturday and Sunday."
The incident occurred in the middle of a show on the Rock Legends Cruise, and was later addressed on Felder's social media.
"We appreciate everyone's concern regarding Don Felder's abrupt stop to his show last night," a statement read on his Instagram account. "He was given fluids, and is feeling much better."
In a video clip, Felder is seen losing his balance as he performs "Tequila Sunrise." A crew member quickly rushed him offstage to make sure the guitarist was safe.
Felder's performances will be rescheduled "to ensure he has ample time to rehydrate and recover fully," the statement continued.
The post concluded with a reminder for fans to "drink your water!"
The guitarist's performance was part of the Rock Legends Cruise, which departed from Miami on Thursday. The lineup includes performances by Alice Cooper, Styx and more.
Felder, 77, joined the Eagles in 1974 and left the band in 2001.
In April 2019, Felder shared with Fox News Digital his history with the famous '70s rock band and what inspired the hit song, "Hotel California."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee said he rented a house in Malibu, California, and his kids were playing in the sand when the music "just came out" while he was fooling around on his guitar.
First came the musical progression of the song and then the lyrics, according to Felder.
Felder admitted back then he wasn't sure that "Hotel California" should have been the band's next single on the radio because it ran longer than three minutes and 30 seconds, but Eagles drummer and co-lead vocalist Don Henley was absolute in his decision and Felder is now "very grateful" to have been wrong.
During the Eagles' illustrious music career, the band sold over 150 million albums and performed more than a thousand concerts.
Originally formed in 1971, the band won six Grammys and had five No. 1 singles and six No. 1 albums, making it one of the most successful acts of the 1970s.
Even with all their success, in 1980 they broke up after nearly 10 years together. The band reformed in the 1990s with a mix of original and new members. The break did nothing to slow down the success of the group, which made it onto Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Madden NFL ratings raise eyebrows and a few questions for two Eagles offensive stars
Madden NFL ratings raise eyebrows and a few questions for two Eagles offensive stars It's hard to say if there have ever been stories about the hate mail Chad Johnson receives when Madden ratings are released. Did you see what happened there? No questions were asked about whether he gets hate mail because it's a foregone conclusion. There's no way he doesn't. Philadelphia Eagles fans everywhere have to be scratching their heads today. For the uniformed, the man previously known as 'Ochocinco' is a Madden NFL ratings adjustor, but before we advance further, something has been on our minds for a long time. Are we the only ones who know that 'ochocinco' isn't the translation for the number 85 in Spanish? A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts receive a lower-than-expected Madden NFL rating If you think Madden NFL ratings are unimportant, ask the guys who believe their speed ratings are off. Ask the NFL stars who play the game about their overall score. We can promise you most of them know what theirs is. If you missed the announcement, ratings are being revealed as we speak. Two Eagles, Lane Johnson and Saquon Barkley, are in the 99 club, but it didn't take long for the vibe to shift. Offensive grades were also released. Jalen Hurts was given an 86 overall grade. A.J. Brown was given a mark of 93. Okay, so let's backtrack. Maybe this isn't earth-shattering to every NFL star. Something tells us Hurts won't be bothered by this. Something else tells us Hurts doesn't even know about this. An 86 overall grade still seems insulting. So does tying him with Justin Herbert, and we're going to need an explanation of the Eagles quarterback landing behind Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff. The 93 rating seems like a generous grade for A.J. Brown. Then, you remember he's better than at least three of the guys who are graded ahead of him. While we realize this is subjective, what gives? We also remind you that Chad Johnson played wide receiver. He should know better. We'll see if corrections are made when the game is released and there are updates.

'Little House on the Prairie' star admits it was 'horrible' dating Rob Lowe during his heartthrob era
Melissa Gilbert is reflecting on her past love life. During an appearance on the "I Choose Me With Jennie Garth" podcast, the "Little House on the Prairie" star got candid about navigating fame from a young age and explained how dating Rob Lowe impacted her view on relationships moving forward. "I guess looking back on those six years, I mean, I was such a baby when Rob and I were together," said Gilbert, who dated Lowe on and off from when she was 17 to 23. "It was very tumultuous. I felt like a bit of an old sage in the business at that point because I'd been doing it for so long. And I was still on 'Little House on the Prairie' when we met, and it had already been years, and he was sort of starting out." "He'd done a little bit of television. And so I was able to sort of sit back and watch this meteoric rise happen. I don't think I was prepared for the stuff that came with it, necessarily. I was prepared for all of having to go to premieres and things and award shows and all of that, but I wasn't prepared for the fandom and, frankly, the girls." "I always thought that every girl and woman was my sister. We're sisters, but it was not evident at all when Rob and I were a couple. I mean, it was like I didn't exist. They just pushed right past me and stuck phone numbers in his pockets and stuff." Gilbert admitted that period of her life was difficult. "To say it was disconcerting is doing it a big disservice," she said. "It was hard and horrible." A representative for Lowe did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Despite the challenges, Gilbert said the relationship helped her learn a lot about desires when it came to finding love. "I think I learned a lot about what didn't work for me, actually, and what I wouldn't stand for later on," she said. "They're hard because they usually are born of heartbreak and angst, but those are really valuable and important lessons… We had some really, really, really fun times." Last year, Gilbert - who landed the role of Laura Ingalls Wilder at the age of 9 - opened up about her decision to leave Hollywood. "All of the pressures, I faced all of them," Gilbert explained to People magazine at the time. "When you live in Los Angeles, it's like living at the mall when you work at the mall. Literally, everyone is in the business. When you walk into a restaurant, every head turns to see who walked in. Everybody's always looking, curious, competing and that's a really difficult thing, especially for a female actor. It puts a lot of pressure on staying thin and staying young, and really it makes it hard to feel comfortable in one's own skin, because [of] the aging process." "No matter how much we push it downstream, it's inevitable," she continued. "So are you going to age comfortably and happily? Are you going to fight it, be unhealthy and feel like there's something wrong with you for aging and that you're defective because you've gotten older?" Gilbert and her husband, actor Timothy Busfield, moved to Michigan in 2013. The actress spent the next few years without Botox or facial fillers. She even had her breast implants removed in 2015. The 60-year-old film producer emphasized aging is a "blessing." "I had to get out of there [L.A.], because it felt like I was not being authentically myself," she told People. "In the five years that I was in Michigan, all of that stopped. … I stopped everything and just focused on being as physically and emotionally healthy as I could. And I think that shows, 'Yes, I'm aging, but it's not a curse — it's a blessing.'"
