Deadmau5 Cancels Dates

Exhaustion has taken its toll on Deadmau5, forcing the electronic music performer to cancel shows in Canada, Japan and Europe.

Deadmau5, whose real name is Joel Thomas Zimmerman, collapsed onstage Friday night while performing at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. After medics rushed him to the hospital doctors diagnosed him as suffering from exhaustion
