Apparently this guy did this collapsing on stage bit enough that it became normal, unfortunately this time around his collapse wasn't a gag which is why nobody tried to help him. That poor kid playing guitar will be screwed up for life knowing he kept playing while Bruce died. If his dying wish was to have John Popper play harmonica over his dead body he just got it.

Warren Haynes needs to shed a few.
