Seizures again landed Lil Wayne in the hospital on Sunday, reports TMZ, forcing the rapper to cancel a show Sunday night in Las Vegas. Wayne was found unconscious in his hotel room after suffering at least one seizure, then another after he was taken to the hospital. It's not the first time his epilepsy has sidelined him—he ended up in the ICU after suffering seizures four years ago. "This wasn't my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh," he told an interviewer later, per the BBC. "I have had a bunch of seizures, you just never hear about them." He attributes stress, overwork, and lack of rest as factors. (More Lil Wayne stories.)
