Spacey later got the all-clear to return to the festival, and opened up to the audience at the closing ceremony about what happened.
In a video posted by The Sun, Kevin says, “I was looking at these extraordinary murals on the walls and I suddenly felt my entire left arm go numb for about eight seconds.
“I shook it off, but I immediately told the people I was with and we went immediately to the medical center.”

Kevin had to undergo a “variety of tests,” and an MRI, but said “everything turned out to be completely normal.”
He said he was thankful it wasn’t “anything more serious.”
Spacey added, “But it also made me really take a moment and think to myself how fragile life is for all of us and how important it is that we all come together and support each other and do what we can for the next generation.”
