Joe Perry has returned to the stage with his band the Hollywood Vampires nearly two weeks after a scary collapse during a concert.
The guitarist played Weill Hall in Rohnert Park, California, with his band Hollywood Vampires, which also includes Johnny Depp and rock legend Alice Cooper. The show marks the first time Perry performed since he collapsed during the The Hollywood Vampires' concert at the Coney Island Amphitheater on July 10.
The Aerosmith guitarist reportedly collapsed during the band's first song and was quickly rushed to Coney Island Hospital by EMTs.
According to People, Perry, 65, had looked disoriented during the New York show on July 11 and later stumbled backstage and collapsed.
He was subsequently hospitalized and was in a stable condition for several days. Reports suggested his health problems stemmed from a combination of dehydration and exhaustion.
Perry's bandmates had continued the tour without him following the incident, marking his spot on stage with musical equipment and amps and wearing buttons with his initials. They provided constant updates on his condition via social media later that night.
The band also paid tribute to their ill guitarist with a tender post on Instagram. "#JoePerry's presence was felt strongly," they captioned the photo. "The boys wore JP badges, set up Joe's equipment and fans held signs and chanted for him throughout the set! We love you Joe!"
According to Toronto Sun, Perry had missed five concerts and a charity performance before returning to the stage for the band's show.
The Hollywood Vampires posted a shot of Perry on Instagram on Friday, along with the caption, "Welcome back Joe Perry!"
Perry was seen playing in another post by the band, captioned, "Ladies and gentleman #JOEPERRY! Live from #WeilHall!"
The rockers announced he would be making a triumphant return to their U.S. tour on Thursday, with Alice Cooper taking to Twitter to reveal the good news.
"Thanks to everyone asking about our brother @JoePerry," Cooper tweeted. "He is stable right now, with family and is under the best care."
The band will wrap up their North American tour in California on Monday.
