World renowned DJ Deadmau5 was hospitalized last night after collapsing on stage during a performance at a Washington DC nightclub, TMZ has confirmed.
A rep for the Canadian-born DJ -- real name Joel Zimmerman -- tells us he collapsed on stage from exhaustion ... at which point, "medics at the venue took [Deadmau5] directly to the hospital, where he is now under supervision."
The rep also tells us that Deadmau5 -- Danny DeVito's favorite performer -- has canceled his next 9 shows ... under the advice of his doctors.

don't know very much about dude's music; i like ghosts n stuff, but the whole fl studio sample thing and his hatting on dj's make him seem like a real prick.
So the dude slags-off DJs. But makes a killing from his shows. Isn't this guy a lap-top DJ?
Not surprised he hates DJs if all he has to do is turn up, press play, and dance about in a stupid hat while a [strike]tech[/strike] 'VJ' prorgammes a light-show.
Well, he shows his face and does gigs without wearing the mask, so the "aura of mystique" that Daft Punk do so well is kind of missing.
His songs are bangers, but I feel they sound a lot like studied combinations of everything that has worked on house-orientated dancefloors and raves for the last five years.
The stage-show is cool, but he doesn't seemingly take it with him everywhere. There are plenty of videos of him doing a standard set with standard equipment, a table, the odd disco light and, again, no mask.
All in all the guy comes off a bit insincere?
In my opinion he is nowhere near interesting enough to be some "SAVIOUR OF DANCE MUSIC", to me he seems like a guy who has taken a bunch of elements of modern club culture that WORKS and made his own, easily digestible mainstream package out of it.

"Exhaustion?" Hmmm...
You try wearing a mouse mask and not doing drugs.
Epic.
Pretty decent club choons made better by solid stage show. No more, no less.

he did a free show here for the Olympics and there was a near-riot. people were selling their free tiks for serious dough.
