Musician Collapses Live on Austrian TV After Performance
During a live television appearance on Saturday evening, a musician suffered a medical emergency: Trumpeter Toni Maier suddenly collapsed in the ORF show "Mei liabste Weis" (My Dearest Tune) moments after performing the "Erzherzog-Johann-Jodler" (Archduke Johann Yodel).
The 77-year-old had to sit down, and host Franz Posch steadied him as producers quickly cut to alternate footage.
Maier received initial medical attention backstage, and the music program—broadcast from Puch bei Weiz in eastern Styria—continued as scheduled. He was later rushed to Graz University Hospital (LKH Graz) for further treatment.
