American Idol contestant Funke Lagoke collapsed on stage during Monday’s episode as she waited to find out if she would advance in the competition. (See full performance and incident below.)
Lagoke and Ronda Felton had just finished their duet portion for Hollywood Week, and Judge Lionel Richie criticized their performance.
“Funke, you’ve come to the end. The problem is … “Richie said before Lagoke fainted, landing with an alarming noise.
Panelist Luke Bryan ran on stage to help staff members attend Lagoke. They turned her on her back before paramedics arrived to pull her out of a cart.
Lagoke was treated for dehydration at a hospital and released, the show reported.
Meanwhile, Richie informed Felton that the two will return to “American Idol” for the showstopper tour.
“I can’t say I’m happy right now, I’m just worried about her health more than anything,” Felton said. “I feel this is the first important thing right now. I just want to tell her that I love her, that I care about her, I want her to be well. ”
The incident starts at 5:00.
