A number of RATT fans have taken to social media to express their concern for singer Stephen Pearcy, who stuggled through the band’s concert last night (Wednesday, September 26) in Huntington, New York.

Fan-filmed video footage of the performance at The Paramount shows Pearcy slurring his way through some of RATT’s biggest hits while sitting down and nearly laying down on the drum riser. According to Metal Sludge, the 62-year-old singer also appears to be slouching or leaning on to the bass drum during “Round And Round” and holding on to the tom-tom stand and bass drum to keep from falling over.
At one point during the set, RATT bassist Juan Croucier told the audience that Pearcy was in “a lot of pain” due to an apparent “injured” knee, and said that he and his bandmates refused to cancel the show because they “love each and every one” of their fans.
Croucier said (see video below): “Let me just say something, all right? In case you guys didn’t notice, Mr. Stephen Pearcy is in a lot of pain. But tonight, we said there’s no way, there’s no way we’re canceling this show. Because we love you guys. We love each and every one of you, and thank you so much for coming down. We promise we’ll be back, without the injury, okay? Thank you so much for your understanding. We’re gonna keep going and do our best.”
