It's been a while since I saw the K. Carp. movie, so I don't recall..but did she faint at a concert and he did too at another concert due to their health problems? how very scary and concerned their audiences must have felt!

I believe Karen did in 1975 and Richard toward the end of 1978.

Hi!
Did they actually faint at concerts like it was shown in the KC story?
I have never read about this anywhere and believe it was just put in the movie to spice it up.

I am not sure about Karen, but I remember seeing Richard interviewed at the time of the KC story on TV and he said he didn't collapse down the stairs. That was just to spice up TV.

That's interesting. I wish I would have seen that interview with Richard.
Although I remember reading in the newspaper about Karen collapsing on stage, I still have the newspaper clipping, I'll have to dig it up.

Hi!
Sad to hear Karen fainted during a concert, .uct have been tragic for her. Hope she didn`t hit anything and hurt herself when she fell.
Strange though as I cannot remember it being in the Coleman book that she fainted at a concert.
As for Richard, I don`t believe he ever fainted, he just said after a show in 1978 that this was it, he was not doing another show. They were in the middle of their 1978 engagement at MGM Grand when he quit half way through it.
Must have been dramatic.

Moe is absolutley right. I saw the interview on "Entertainment Tonight" in fact I have it on tape. Richard did say that incident was just for dramatization.  |

Hi All,
Karen did not faint at a concert. That was made up to give it more drama...although in her condition she did "collapse" in between shows in her dressing room in Las Vegas as she did a grueling 2 shows per evening...
Richard did collapse but he was in the bathroom and collapsed against the toilet striking his head and I can't remember if he needed hospitilization...
