Tiny Tim collapses and dies during a performance at a gala benefit hosted by the Women's Club of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. He had let his third wife ("Miss Sue") know before the show that he was not feeling well, but did not want to disappoint his fans. He suffers a heart attack on stage in the middle of a rendition of his hit, Tiptoe Through the Tulips and never regains consciousness. EMTs perform on-site CPR and transport him to Hennepin County Medical Center, where after repeated revival attempts, he is pronounced dead at 11:20 pm.
