Tiny Tim was in serious but stable condition Monday after suffering a heart attack on stage during a ukulele concert.
The 64-year-old balladeer with a falsetto voice and long black hair was about to sing his first tune at the Uke Expo Saturday night in Montague, Mass., when he suddenly collapsed."He just gets up on stage and he introduces the band, and then just out of nowhere . . . he just basically passed out. He fell straight forward, right on his face," said John Petrovato, owner of the Montague Book Mill where the concert was held.
Many in the audience of 135 were crying, and as Tim was taken to his ambulance, "people on the lawn started cheering and saying `Hold on, Tiny Tim,' " Petrovato said.
