CHICAGO — About an hour into a rapidly deteriorating concert Saturday night, Chuck Berry slumped over an accompanist’s keyboard before being helped offstage.
The 84-year-old rock ‘n’ roll legend and a backing band of three Chicago musicians attempted to resume the show for the packed house about 15 minutes later, but Berry was taken off again to be checked by paramedics who were called to the theater.
Berry’s agent, Dick Alen, said Sunday that exhaustion was the reason Berry felt ill. He didn’t know whether Berry was seeking additional medical treatment.
