Tone-Loc collapsed onstage at a concert in Atlanta on Saturday. According to TMZ, the rapper was treated at a nearby hospital and was released shortly afterward. Reports have indicated that he suffered a seizure, but his manager told TMZ that he was suffering from exhaustion but is now recovering.

Billboard reports that Tone-Loc has had a history of seizures, and had previously collapsed during an outdoor performance in Pensacola Beach, Florida in 2009.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
