BILLINGS, Mont. — A publicist says Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Gene Cornish of The Rascals is in good spirits at a Montana hospital after collapsing during a concert.

Melissa Kucirek says the 74-year-old Cornish is expected to be released from a Billings hospital on Wednesday.

She said Sunday that “he’s on the path to a speedy recovery” and is eager to get back on stage.

Kucirek says she didn’t know what caused Cornish to collapse Friday at a show in Billings.

She says that “Gene would like everyone to know that he so appreciates the prayers and well-wishes.”

They were inducted into the hall in 1997.
