According to an Instagram post, Quintanilla had been feeling pain in his back for two weeks but thought he had pulled a muscle.

Toward the end of their show, Quintanilla states he was feeling strange and was taken to the emergency room on Tuesday night.

The post said he was admitted for dehydration, but doctors found fluid in Quintanilla’s right lung.

The musician says he is “doing fine now” and is “gonna get some rest” before his next show.

Since the health scare, Quintanilla has uploaded more videos to his Instagram, thanking the Bolivian crowds for their support.
