The "No Love" singer was performing at Irving Plaza on Sept. 15 when his body appeared to go limp and he fell off the stage. The incident was caught on camera and posted on social media. Earlier in the week, the singer's rep told TMZ that Alsina had suffered "multiple seizures" while in the hospital.
Reportedly, doctors did not find drugs - other than marijuana - in his system and they believe he passed out because of dehydration and exhaustion."
Alsina was wrapping up his first solo tour "Testimony Live" when he fell ill.
