Brian Setzer, the former frontman for the Stray Cats and present leader of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, has recovered from his Monday night collapse while performing at Isleta Casino.
The Grammy Award winner, accompanied by his Brian Setzer Orchestra, had performed three Christmas-themed songs to a sold out crowd when he walked off stage appearing shaky. An Isleta employee says that Setzer collapsed after leaving the stage and was rushed to a local hospital where he was treated for dehydration, high altitude sickness and vertigo.
But a posting on his Web site says Setzer recovered quickly and will perform as scheduled Tuesday night in Phoenix. The Albuquerque Journal reports that concert goers can get a full refund and have two weeks to collect it.
