Fans of B.C. rock musician Matthew Good took to social media on Tuesday night to offer their thoughts and prayers to the 46-year-old after he collapsed onstage while performing at Edmonton’s Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
A tweet posted to Good’s Twitter account confirmed the singer had been taken to hospital.
“Matt’s been under the weather recently, but still wanted to go on with the show,” the Tweet reads. “Unfortunately he couldn’t carry on with the performance, and as a precautionary measure he has been taken to the hospital. We’ll keep everyone updated.”

Watch below: Canadian rocker Matthew Good collapsed on stage while performing in Edmonton on Tuesday night. He was on tour with Our Lady Peace. The singer of that band, Raine Maida, spoke to the crowd after the incident unfolded.
Don Amero was one of the hundreds of concertgoers in attendance Tuesday night. From his seat in the sixth row from the stage, he told Global News he was shocked by what he saw.
“Everything came to a halt and the stage crew came to his side right away and carried him off the stage. He didn’t even get up on his own feet.”
Amero said that midway through Our Lady Peace’s set, Maida told the crowd he was texting Good.
Then, a few songs later, Maida told the crowd that Good had responded with a sense of humour, saying, “he blames the drummer for playing too fast.”
“Clearly he wasn’t in the shape to be on the stage,” Amero added.
Tuesday marked the second night that Good was to perform in Edmonton along with Canadian rock heavyweights Our Lady Peace.
The Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium declined comment on the incident. Global News has reached out to the agency that represents Good for more information.
Good and Our Lady Peace are currently on a cross-country tour that began in St. John’s, N.L. earlier this month.
The acts released a statement that their concert at the CN Centre in Prince George, B.C. has been rescheduled from Wednesday to Thursday to allow Good an extra day to rest and recover.
The statement said all tickets purchased for Wednesday’s concert will be valid on Thursday. Additionally, anyone who bought tickets for the Prince George concert but can’t attend Thursday’s show will have their tickets refunded.
