Punk funk king Rick James spent a week in a Dallas Texas hospital, after collapsing in the middle, of a performance before 19,000 people at Reunion Arena. James went onstage against the advice of his doctors, after complaining of stomach pains. He was treated for a virus infection and released, a good thing since it was hard to fit all his women into that little hospital room! Rick should be back on the road, super-freaking again by the time you read this.
