I've been playing guitar for almost my whole life.. 37 years now.. and I've been playing in front of people for 30 of those 37 years... I STILL get horrible stage fright..
I just remember that all those famous people that get stage fright..
My favorite musician with stage fright is Stevie Ray Vaughn.. As I'm a blues guitarist.. He ALWAYS started each concert with an instrumental.. To work out the butterflies...
No one is safe.. I've forgotten entire songs.. I just moved on to the next one and came back to the one I forgot when I got my wits about me...

This is a great article. Thank you so much..
