Katy Perry Thanks EMTs After Fainting On "Idol" Set Due To Gas Leak

A grateful Katy Perry shows her gratitude to first-responders who attended to her after she passed on while filming American Idol. During a clip of the audition episode for the new season, the judges began complaining that the set smelled like gas. Co-judge Luke Bryan said that it was “heavy propane,” so production rushed the judges and auditioning singers outside.

In the video clip, Perry walks outside before falling to the ground. “Big shout out to all our first responders around the county,” the singer later tweeted with a video of the incident. “Thanks for risking your lives every day…and ? all night long ? #AmericanIdol ??.”
