August Alsina seems to be making somewhat speedy recovery after being hospitalized for collapsing on stage while performing in New York last week. The artist was reportedly severely dehydrated and exhausted, putting him in a 3 day coma filled with frequent seizures. August Alsina had his fair share of ups and downs throughout his life, those in which he shares in his debut album Testimony. With that being said, we all know this is just a minor set back for a major come back. According to reports, doctors confirmed that the singer did collapse from chronic fatigue and found no drugs in his system besides marijuana. There is no word yet on the status of his "Testimony Live Tour," that was supposed to wrap this week. August took to his Instagram to let fans know that he is okay and woke up from a three day recovery. He said:
"This is a bit graphic but I wanted to share this w/ every follower of mine. iWoke up out of a 3 day coma... &This guy @banggang_moneyteam right here never once left my side. What I'm tryna say is cherish the ones in life who cherish you & take good care of yourself. Your life can be gone in a split second. I'm recovering well and thankyou for all of your prayers & concerns. -Yung"
