At around 4pm that Friday, the entertainer was in the midst of a comedy set at Muckleshoot Casino Resort when he began visibly struggling on stage, according to the outlet. 

An eye witness in the crowd said that roughly a half hour or so into the show, Lopez started sweating and asked for water.

Sabrina Alvarez, an eye witness, said it took some time before someone came out and relieved the performer with a glass of water. 

'You could tell something was wrong, but it was not clear what was wrong,' she told TMZ, adding that Lopez then apologized to the audience, walked off stage and did not return.  

George was set to perform again later that night but the casino confirmed that their headline act was forced to cancel.

Lopez didn't comment on his condition afterward, but he did re-share a post from a fan on his Insta story that referenced the ordeal.

'@GeorgeLopez I hope you're feeling much better soon,' the fan wrote over a short clip of a casino poster promoting the show.

The canceled prime time show has been rescheduled for March 18.
