Get well Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday night, Cheap Trick was performing at Riveredge in Aurora and guitarist Rick Nielsen, 77, reportedly experienced a health-related issue while on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band briefly stopped the show. According to a report from prominent podcaster, Mike Brunn of The Rock Experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCheap Trick was performing at Riveredge Park in Aurora, Illinois, when the band abruptly stopped their show due to Nielsen, 77, \u201chaving a hard time breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that Nielsen did return to the stage approximately 10 minutes later and continued his performance while seated in a chair. However, he did leave the stage while performing the song \u201cDream Police,\u201d but returned later to complete the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No word on me exact details of the health concern. Cheap Trick, of course, hails from Rockford, Illinois and achieved international fame in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
