One day after the Hollywood Vampires member fell ill and stumbled off stage during a weekend concert, those close to the performer are updating fans on his condition.

"Thankfully, Joe seems to be better than we all first feared," Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton wrote on Twitter Monday afternoon. "Here's hoping he's back on stage soon doing what he loves to do!"

Because of the health scare, the band will understandably not perform on tonight's broadcast of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

The rock band, which also features Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper, are in the middle of their first tour in the states. Their appearance on The Late Show would have also marked their late-night debut.

According to audience members at Sunday evening's show, the 65-year-old musician fell ill during the second song of the supergroup's set.

"He sat down during the song and then walked off behind the drum set," fan Kevin Phalon shared with NBC News. "After that, you could see a whole bunch of backstage people run off to the left side of the stage."

According to reports, Joe also appeared in good condition before the show even started as he participated in a meet-and-greet with fans.

As fans continue to wait for updates, many in the music industry continue to send their best wishes to the rock legend. "Joe, sorry to hear what's happened, thinking of you," Black Sabbath member Tony Iommi shared on Twitter. "Get better soon, and take care of yourself. @JoePerry."

Steven added, "I LOVE YOU @JOEPERRY...FEEL THE MILLIONS OF PRAYERS COMING YOUR WAY...WE ALL LOVE YOU...SENDING WHITE LIGHT AND ALL THAT I GOT YOUR WAY...ST."
