After the American Idol show tonight (last night, Wednesday, August 25th) at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, Casey James was taken to a local area hospital where he was examined and later discharged. The information that Casey was sick came first via Twitter as fans at the show tweeted that he had been coughing on stage, looked ill during the final number, and was taken to a nearby hospital immediately after the show.

His twitter fans worried about his health and launched an all-out tweeting effort to find out where he was taken and what his condition was. After about an hour, fans were updated by his mother, Debra "Bybee" James. She tweeted:

Hello my friends. I found him and spoke with him briefly. He said "Im fine Momma". He had to go. They're treating him. Thank you so much for all your sweet thoughts & prayers. He told me he would call me later. God bless y'all. Don't know anyone who could have better fans.
