The rockers played a show last night at the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky. As noted by Setlist.fm, they stopped performing during the song "(rěn-dǐsh'ən)" due to Rivera suffering an unspecified medical emergency.

After a delay, Nonpoint eventually resumed the show with Rivera, but it was ultimately cut short. The drummer was taken to the hospital in an ambulance once the set concluded. Nonpoint issued a statement on Rivera's on their social media a few hours after the show ended, noting that Rivera's heart rate had increased significantly during the performance.

January 16, 2025

Pascal Obispo is going through a complicated period. This summer, the singer confided to our colleagues at Le Parisien that he had some health problems. "July 2024, in the middle of summer. I am being treated for renal colic, a stone in the kidney that is horribly painful, a pain equivalent to that of childbirth", he explained in the columns of the newspaper. While he was due to go on stage in Corsica, he preferred to be injected with morphine to be able to perform his show rather than cancel it. But a few months later, the singer of Tombé pour elle seems to be caught up by his health problems. Although he appeared on the set of Star Academy on Saturday, November 2, 2024, he confided in the columns of Gala that he now needs to slow down.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Molly Stern Opens Up About Parkinson's Diagnosis at 52: 'I Assumed the Worst'
January 11, 2025
When celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern first felt her hands start to shake in March 2023, she chalked it up to too much caffeine. She tells People she was rushing and felt the usual amount of pressure she did with her job, so the shaking didn't immediately concern her. But then it didn't stop. Despite noticing all of these changes in herself, the initial MRI showed that her brain looked great, which she says was a relief. However, Stern says her symptoms only got worse, and she says the coming months were when she was the "sickest" — and it was when she dealt with them in silence while working with director Greta Gerwig through the 2024 awards season, at which Barbie made a strong showing. So she went back to the neurologist for more answers. "I was moving as if I was in molasses," she says of her life at this point in June 2024. "I walked into her office and just burst into tears. I apologized for crying, and just told her I feel like something is really wrong with me. She was like, 'Clearly you have Parkinson's.'" Stern says the doctor diagnosed her just like that, like it was so obvious.

January 10, 2025
The usually upbeat “Chaz & AJ” morning show on Connoisseur Media classic rock WPLR (99.1) New Haven, CT, struck a more serious note earlier this week when co-host AJ revealed that he had been diagnosed in December with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, after tests showed signs of anemia. The good news is “they caught it early,” AJ told listeners about the disease, for which he began "more aggressive" treatments this past week. "There's a really good feeling they can bring me back, either exactly as I was or very close to how it was before," he said. Following December's diagnosis, some complications delayed cancer treatments, as AJ underwent surgery on Christmas Eve for a partially collapsed lung and internal hernia.

Popular Welsh rugby club boss suffers two heart attacks and a stroke at 38 after workout
January 8, 2025
A popular Welsh rugby club boss has miraculously defied the odds to survive two heart attacks and a stroke. Pontypool RFC team manager Ryan Thomas, 38, was admitted to hospital with chest pains following a workout on November 7, but went into cardiac arrest while waiting to be seen. His heart stopped for an hour as medical staff tried desperately to revive him, giving him over 20 shocks with a defibrillator before finding a heartbeat. The nightmare was far from over, however, as after being admitted to intensive care, Mr Thomas had another heart attack, with a scan revealing that he had also suffered a "substantial" stroke. That stroke made necessary further treatment extremely risky, with his family - including his wife Victoria - told by a consultant that he "wouldn't bet on" him pulling through. But, against all odds, he survived and has since overcome numerous infections to wake up after five "horrendous" weeks under sedation. After battling through hell and back, he now faces a long road to recovery, with his family appealing for help to fund a suitable rehabilition programme and adaptions to their home in New Inn.
