Liza Minnelli collapses on stage...
This is scary.
The great Liza Minnelli collapsed on stage during a performance in Sweden and was rushed back to the United States for medical treatment. Liza was performing in a Christmas show Wednesday in Goteborg but collapsed as she walked off stage after finishing her fourth song.
"As she walked down the steps, she passed out. She was taken immediately to her hotel where a doctor was waiting," said Zlakto Nedanovski, a spokesman for the concert's organizers told The Associated Press.
"She had felt a bit dizzy before she got up on stage," but decided to proceed with the show anyway."
Hopefully it's just the flu.
Liza was taken back to her hotel by her manager and examined by a doctor who consulted with her NYC physician and she later flew home.
Liza, winner of the Oscar, an Emmy and two Tonys, was performing alongside several Swedish artists in a show called "A Classic Christmas Night." It was the fourth and final show in a series of four concerts in Sweden.
