Ryan Seacrest - Ryan Seacrest Battles Through Illness On 'American Idol'

Seacrest was looking peaky though at the show's beginning, with the stage manager Debbie Williams explaining that he was feeling "under the weather," and helping him move from point to point by his hand, giving hugs and generally making a fuss of the star. Whether it was testament to the magical energy of 'Idol,' or maybe a curt reminder that he was still on national television on a massive contract ill or not, he made a remarkable recovery though, and by the end of the opening number was singing along to 'We Are The Champions' by Queen alongside judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson.

Seacrest wasn't the only one feeling ill last night either, as an audience member had to be tended to by a medic after looking like she might faint. The heat of Queen night evidently was nothing short of overpowering.
