Last night, the highly anticipated concert by Nonpoint took an unexpected turn as drummer Robb Rivera was rushed to the hospital, causing the band’s performance to be abruptly halted. Following the incident, the band released an official statement to update fans on Rivera’s condition and the events that transpired during the show.

The rock band was performing at the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky, when they had to stop the set during the song “(rěn-dǐsh’ən).” Reports from Setlist.fm indicate that Rivera experienced a serious medical emergency, prompting him to leave the stage. Eyewitnesses described seeing him stand up from his drum kit, which raised immediate concerns among the audience.

After a brief pause, Nonpoint attempted to continue with the performance, but ultimately, the show was cut short. Following the conclusion of their set, Rivera was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for urgent medical attention.

A few hours post-show, Nonpoint took to social media to share an update on Rivera’s health, revealing that he had experienced a significant spike in his heart rate during the performance, which raised alarm among the band and medical personnel.

The band’s social media post expressed gratitude towards their fans in Louisville for their understanding regarding the abrupt end to the concert, stating, “Robb had a sudden shift in his heart rate that was dangerously high and the paramedics were not able to get it down in time so they took him to the hospital.” This heartfelt message highlighted the seriousness of the situation.
