A representative says Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is resting and “doing well” after he left a Brooklyn stage and was taken to a hospital.

Sujata Murthy also said Monday that Perry appreciates the public’s good wishes.

Perry became ill around 9:30 p.m. Sunday while performing with Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper in his side band, the Hollywood Vampires, at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island.

An administrator at Coney Island Hospital confirmed the 65-year-old Perry was undergoing tests.

Cooper tweeted, saying “our brother” Perry was stable and with family.

A video posted by a fan on social media shows Perry sitting onstage and then walking off in the middle of a song.

The band continued playing after Perry left.
