American comedian George Lopez left his New Year's Eve show in the middle due to illness.
As per reports, the 60-year-old actor performed his act for 30 to 40 minutes on December 31, held at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort in Auburn, Washington. However, mid-way through his set, Lopez's health deteriorated, and he decided he could not complete his performance.
An eye-witness told media outlet TMZ that he started sweating and asking for water. At first, no one came forward, but one person handed him a glass.
The source said:
You could tell something was wrong, but it was not clear what was wrong.
The media outlet further reported that the venue saw an ambulance arriving at the scene, but it is not clear if George Lopez was taken to the hospital or not.

After Lopez fell ill midway through his set, the Muckleshoot Casino Resort canceled his evening 8 PM show and rescheduled it for March 18, 2022.
Before his future gig, George Lopez has eight show dates scheduled for different parts of the United States, viz. Texas, California, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
After his incident on December 31, the comedian did not comment on his health but only replied to the official account of Alaskan Airlines with "thank you."
On December 31, George Lopez paid tribute to late Golden Girls actor Betty White, sharing a clip from his interview video with her.
