The former England and Tottenham star broke down at the function where he looked unwell and was visibly shaking.
The 45-year-old has since been admitted to an unnamed treatment centre in the US, his management company revealed on Monday night.
GamePlan Solutions said that Gascoigne was moved by the show of support from fans and as well as his friends in football over the past few days.
The statement read: "Alcoholic Paul Gascoigne has been experiencing a tough time of late. He has been asking for help and has willingly been admitted to a treatment centre in America.
"He has complex issues that are currently being dealt with by professionals.
"Paul has been extremely touched and overwhelmed by the generous offers of help and support over the past few days. He is motivated to fully understand and control his addiction problem under guidance."
