The rapper suffered a scary moment when he fell to the stage mid-concert on Mar. 16. The episode was serious enough that he was forced to end his concert early. Keep reading for all the details.
Rapper Tone Loc collapsed on stage during his concert in Des Moines, Iowa on Mar. 16. He apparently suffered a seizure, and his condition was critical enough that he was forced to cut the show early.
Tone Loc Collapses On Stage
Three reporters for the Des Moines Register who were on the scene stated that Tone finished a song and then suddenly collapsed to the ground. After being attended to by multiple people for about five minutes, security asked fans to leave and the show was completely shut down.
Tone Loc, who is best known for his hits “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing,” reportedly suffered a seizure, though there’s no indication that the episode resulted in a trip to the hospital, and his condition has not been updated.
This is not a first time occurrence for Tone — not by a long shot. In 2009, he was rushed to a hospital in Florida after collapsing on stage. He collapsed again in Atlanta in 2011 and was taken to the hospital. Then in 2012, he collapsed on stage from what his manager said was heat exhaustion, and he also suffered a seizure while watching a comedy show.
So Tone obviously has a history with seizures, and at this point performing on stage doesn’t seem like the smartest thing for his health.
Tone Loc, Lil Wayne & More: Seizures A Trend In The Rap World?
Tone Loc’s collapse and alleged seizure come just two days after fellow rapper Lil Wayne was hospitalized and in critical condition after suffering his own seizure. Wayne’s episode was so serious that many believed he would not survive. And then there’s Rick Ross, who suffered his third seizure in October 2012, causing him to cancel a concert in Guyana.
It seems that these scary, possibly fatal episodes are becoming a trend in the hip-hop world. We can only hope that whatever’s causing them is pinpointed and straightened out. These guys are too young and too talented.

Umn! What is going on as the late Marvin Gaye once asked “What’s Going On” ? Tone Loc aka Wild thing, Rick Ross, Weezy! Say it’s not so. I rather be broke than rich on stage about to croak. What’s going onnnnnnnnn? Tone Loc he’s up there in age, he can’t be “acting” like these young boys. Could Viagra be the culprit in these seizures; I’m, just asking? Listen guys and gals if you are taking a substance to get high or kill pain and it is not affecting YOU. STOP! STOP! and STOP some more! To much of anything is not good for the body. The Devil is a liar. If you can no longer hear that inner voice. IT IS TIME TO SEEK “SPIRITUAL” HELP! It’s sickning. Future entertainers better heed these warnings. The message or example do not change. This will always be the end result! James brown knew this was show biz, How do you loose sight of that? If you worked for a legit organization and company; you, would get DRUG tested and if POSITIVE you would LOOSE your job. This is the same; however, you are going to LOOSE your LIFE. There are no second chances when you are DEAD!

The next article: Justin Beiber Suffers A Seizure While Onstange ! Should Selena Be Concerned !? Will She Come To His Hospital Bedside ?? ”
great publicity.
A siezure can be faked, by the way. I am not suprised nor impressed by this article nor am I concerned with the ones about Lil Wayne.
Too much drugs and booze. Not enough of healthy living.

These people just want attention; I guess when you are as ugly as those two rappers, you have to seek attention in other ways. They both look like nothing but trashy thugs; I hope that they are saving their money because after rap is no longer popular they will have to return to the streets.
