Singer-songwriter Katy Perry was filmed collapsing outside on the American Idol set in Sunriver, Oregon.
On the recent remote location taping of auditions for American Idol, Katy Perry fell to the ground in front of Oregon firefighters and Lionel Richie after a suspected “gas leak” suspended auditions.
In a clip posted below from Access Hollywood, guest judge Katy is interrupted during auditions after smelling the scent of gas. Her fellow judges were also aware of the propane odors.
Both Lionel Richie and country star Luke Bryan agreed with Perry as they smelled gas. She said: “It’s pretty intense.”
Luke said: “We’re getting heavy propane.”
“I have a slight headache from it, oh it’s bad, it’s really bad,” Katy said, standing up from the desk while the show competitors outside were evacuated from the building as the first responders arrived.
In the video, you can see Perry turn and collapse outside with Richie and the firefighters right there by her side.
The video, first posted by People, shows the action, and the show will air in its entirety on Sunday.

Earlier, she was embroiled in messy legal wrangling trying to purchase the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary compound, and the nuns were trying to block her purchase.
One nun accused Perry of having “blood on her hands.”
The drama over this real estate deal reached epic proportions as the nuns even made a video outlining their displeasure at the pop star who wanted the choice piece of LA real estate to do over as one of her homes:
