  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHis supporters are speaking up about how bad the money side has become. That's a hard turn after a frightening night on stage.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Post's angle is that a sudden cardiac event can hit a working performer mid-show. Nobody is exempt.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe wish him a full recovery, and we hope the people around him can ease that load.

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Post doesn't detail the amounts, so we won't guess. Wishing him well.
