When San Francisco drag sister Anna Warhola suffered a heart attack on stage at the weekend, patrons at the Charlie Horse bar at first thought her collapse was just part of the show's finale. Collapsed: Anna Warhola Warhola – real name Paul Brinegar – fell over at the end of her closing number, to laughter and applause from the audience, who were used to her mock-drunken antics. As many patrons were leaving the bar, a hostess realised what had happened and staff administered CPR, reports the Sword website. Paramedics arrived on the scene, reviving Brinegar several times. He remains stable in a coma at a nearby hospital.
