Tone Loc is another rapper in need of medical attention. After he collapsed on stage at a concert on Saturday night, people started to wonder whether he was dead or alive. His representative has not returned calls or updated on the situation.

As soon as the 47-year-old rapper fell down unconscious, concert goers were asked to leave. Huffington Post reported that the rapper whose real name is Anthony T. Smith, refused to be taken to the hospital after getting hurt.

Loc had previously collapsed on stage due to being overheated back in 2009. It's also recorded that he had collapsed back in 1995 at a Los Angeles Lakers game.

There is no additional information provided about the current situation. Could the collapse be due to drugs like Lil Wayne or due to his body being overworked?

Fans and netizens wondered out loud and shared their comments on the web:

"I wonder if he has epilepsy. I've had epilepsy all my life and I know most of my seizures occurred during high-energy, high adrenaline events as I imagine a show would be."

"How can you collapse from performing one song? This cat had one hit…"

"Lil Wayne hospitalized and now this. Is it possible rap trash is dying?"

"God Bless you Ton, praying for you and Lil Wayne, enough bad news AOL."

"I'll admit I'm not a fan of Rap, but I always like Tone Loc's style. Wishing you a speedy recovery and dude, seriously, take better care of what God gave ya!"

Loc is most famous for his hits from the 1980s including "Funky Cold Medina" and "Wild Thing."
