THE COLLAPSE OF FRANK SINATRA

On March 7, 1994, Frank Sinatra was performing in Richmond, Virginia to an adoring crowd. Unfortunately in the middle of ‘My Way’ he collapsed on the stage, dehydrated from a combination of a diuretic he was taking and late night drinking in the hotel bar. Here’s local news coverage of the event. I like the audio of the 911 call, where a cop who was in attendance calls for an ambulance and, after the 911 operator asks if Sinatra’s breathing, angrily tells her to ‘get an ambulance rolling!’ Sinatra survived though I doubt refunds were offered. That would be doing it ‘his way’.
