Update: Nonpoint has shared a brief update regarding Rivera's condition.


We are getting confirmed reports that Robb Rivera, drummer for Nonpoint, was taken to the hospital in an ambulance tonight forcing their show at Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, KY. 

According to fans who attended the show, Rivera was spotted getting up from behind the drum set and paced the stage after multiple songs and at one point left the stage, which delayed the show for a short time.

When Rivera returned he could be seen with an ice pack trying to cool off. He attempted to perform a few more songs following his break, however the show would ultimately be cut short and he would be taken to the local hospital via ambulance. Fans also noted he appear visibly unwell. 

Nonpoint is only three days into their To The Pain & Statement anniversary U.S. tour. No word on how this will affect the remaining dates.

The band has yet to make any announcement's regarding Rivera or how this may impact the remain tour dates. 

We will continue to update this story. 

Update: In a brief clip posted to the band's social's, vocalist Elias Soriano gives an update regarding tonight's events.

The band shared the following:

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.

Narrator: But Robb was not okay. Doctors ran tests for several days without successfully identifying the root cause of his issue. He was prescribed 3 medications to prevent a similar event from occurring but these were contraindicated by Robb's years of undisclosed drug abuse. Robb tragically left this world a week and a half after his last show. Better to burn out than to fade away. RIP
