Corey Feldman has reassured fans following a medical emergency that saw him rushed to hospital while travelling home to Los Angeles.
The 54-year-old former child star, was reported to have become unwell during a flight from Chicago on Monday, prompting medical assistance in the air before paramedics met him upon landing.
The star was travelling home after attending anniversary events celebrating the beloved 1986 film Stand By Me, where he reunited with former co-stars Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheatonn – and spent time connecting with fans.
Following a series of tests, Corey now revealed the cause was a severe case of food poisoning, and he has since been discharged.

Upon first news of the incident, fans were quick to share an outpour of love and support for the 80s icon, flooding his comment section with concerned messages.

It seems a little health scare isn’t enough to slow the father down, as the multi-hyphenate entertainer is ushering in a new era with the release of his latest single, “What Am I Here 4? – coming late June.
The release follows a busy period for Corey, who continues to perform for audiences around the world following his appearance on Limp Bizkit’s highly publicized Loserville Tour and a series of fan events celebrating his film and music career.

Fans for one are glad their beloved childhood actor is in recovery, and will be interested to see if Corey will be fitting in more periods of rest following the incident, alongside his packed public schedule.
