NONPOINT was forced to cut its concert short Sunday night (January 12) at the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky after drummer Robb Rivera had a sudden shift in his heart rate that was dangerously high, resulting in him being hospitalized.

A short time after the concert, NONPOINT vocalist Elias Soriano shared a video message in which he offered an update on Rivera‘s condition, saying: “ So tonight is a pretty wild night here in Louisville. Thank you to all the fans that hung around and stayed. Robb is okay. He is back at the hospital right now, just getting some tests done. His heart rate got a little bit high today on stage. It’s something that’s never happened before.”

He continued: “You guys know we put on an energetic show, and this is never anything that really is any different than what we normally do. But Robb is okay. They got his heart rate down, and we’re just gonna wait for more news. But I just wanna let everybody know.

“Thank you so much for everybody in Louisville for coming out,” Elias added. “I’m sorry we couldn’t do the last song. Literally we had one and a half more songs to do and Robb really wanted to do it, but the paramedics wouldn’t let him do it.

“Thank you for everybody for all your support. Everything is okay. Robb is doing good. I just wanna give you guys an update.”

NONPOINT also included the following message with the video: “Thank you to the fans of Louisville for understanding us having to cut the set tonight. 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. As of now his heart rate is stable and they’re running tests. We’ll keep you all posted on his progress as news comes in. Send them healing vibes our way so we can get our brother back on that drum throne. #prayersup”.
