Aerosmith's Perry Tweets ‘Doing Well' After Hospitalization

Perry's publicists said in a statement that the 68-year-old felt short of breath after the Saturday performance at Madison Square Garden

Joe Perry is feeling the love from fans after he was hospitalized with breathing problems that began after a guest performance with Billy Joel in New York.

The Aerosmith guitarist on Tuesday tweeted: "Doing well, thanks for the love and support."

Perry's publicists said in a statement that the 68-year-old felt short of breath after the Saturday performance at Madison Square Garden. Paramedics backstage gave Perry oxygen and used a tracheal tube to clear his airway before taking him to the hospital.

The statement said Perry is expected to return to the road this month.

Perry had joined the 69-year-old Joel on stage for a rendition of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way."
