Michaels was three songs into the performance at the Palace Theatre when he left the stage. He later returned to tell fans he was unable to continue.

“As you all know he is a health fanatic and fiercely monitors his blood sugar,” explained Evick. “When I rushed to the bus he could barely speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and seemed only concerned for them.”
