A representative for the San Francisco Fire Department, Mariano Elias, told TMZ that a fire engine and a private ambulance responded to a “cardiac incident” call at the Chase Center and transported one person to a local hospital in critical condition.
Lionel Ritchie suffered a medical emergency during his June 24 performance in St. Paul, Minnesota, and was forced to sit down on the stage stairs to gather himself before cutting the show short.
