The View star Kieren Webster collapsed during the band's set at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival earlier this month (Mar13) after suffering heatstroke.


The Scottish rockers took to the stage at the event in Austin, Texas, but bassist Webster suffered a health scare midway through the performance, according to Britain's The Sun.


The collapse was due to the high temperatures, and frontman Kyle Falconer jokes, "He's not used to the sun - he's Scottish!"
