Meat Loaf returned to his home state to talk at Texas Frightmare, and he had a run in with the end of the stage. As in, he fell off of it. According to Sofa King Cool Magazine, he tripped over a wire, fell through the curtain and landed on the floor. While he was lying on the floor, he made sure to tell his fans that he loved them.
He was evaluated at the scene and taken the hospital. The convention gave an update on Saturday, “As everyone knows Meat Loaf fell today. We wanted to keep you updated as soon as we knew something. We just found out that the hospital is keeping him overnight for observation. He will not be able to return on Sunday but he has already confirmed that he will be back in 2020! He’s a trooper and we are praying a speedy recovery!”
SFCM reports that he broke his collarbone from the fall.
It is kind of crazy that he was injured while speaking at an event and not singing at a concert. He is known for getting so into his performance, nothing can break his attention. Even though, I did.
Meat Loaf has had several health issues throughout his career. Now it looks like being a Bat Out of Hell has caught up with the 71-year-old. That is because today the singer tweeted, “Living in constant pain is a pain. I just what to go to work. Love you all. May you never know constant pain. Those that do I feel for you. God bless you Meat.”
Hopefully, they will figure out what is causing the pain and give him some relief. This way he can go back on the road and perform. If you have never seen him live, he puts on one helluva show. Worth every penny.
On another note, does Bat Out of Hell only come on any else playlist whenever they stuck in traffic. Or is it just me? It is the worst song to hear in a motionless car that has nowhere to go and all you want to do is be like the song title. When you on a clear highway, it is the best because you put the pedal to the medal and feel the air rushing past you as you go the speed limit. Hey, a traffic cop could be reading this.
Back in 1983, it had been 4 years since a total eclipse and people were able to relate to Jim Steinman’s lyric for his huge ballad Total Eclipse of the Heart sung by Bonnie Tyler. Today, it is 38 years later and people are once again excited for an eclipse because we are getting another one on August 21st.
So excited that Royal Caribbean is setting sail a Total Eclipse Cruise this Sunday and passengers will be able to witness the moon covering the sun from the water. To make that rare occurrence even more monumental, they will have Tyler sing that infamous song to hundreds of bright eyes as they go dark. How awesome is that going to be? To make it even better, the guests will be having Cake by the Ocean with DNCE.
Now back to the eclipse, tell me I am not the only who watched too many Horror movies and Sci-Fi shows and is afraid we are going to be taken over aliens, Zombies and/or animals during those 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Or time will stop and some evil lord will control our brains and we will never be the same when the sun finally shines through again?
Finally, there are still seats available for the cruise and you can get tickets to be one it for less than $800. What a bargain!
Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell, one of the greatest selling albums of all time, is turning 40 years old this year and Sony in the UK is re-releasing it in honor of the milestone and the musical playing there based on the record’s playlist. The singer took to Facebook yesterday and implored people not to buy it.

“BAT OF HELL” THE MUSICAL .
Ryan Melbourne just wrote me and said some Fancy Cover , They sent the regular Bat Cover and said this was the cover was the Cover . They can’t change the cover without Jim and mines permission. Meat
Incredible that they haven’t seen a lot money from it because songs from BOOH are still be played all the time. When I was growing up Paradise in the Dashboard Light was a rite of passage song. I am sure a lot of nearly 17 year olds lost their virginity to that anthem. Just for that Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman should be paid for their Rock Opera. Or maybe they should pay all the child support that came from it. Joking!
Also, who hasn’t sped like a Bat Out of Hell on the highway while listening to the title track? I know I have and it is the perfect melody for doing that.
Bat Out of Hell is the most theatrical album ever made and now almost 40 years after its release it is getting a stage musical. According to Billboard, Jim Steinman, the most brilliant lyricist to grace the music industry, is writing the musical as you read this. Not only will songs from 1977 album be included, so will tunes from the follow-up record Bat Out of Hell 2. At this point, Meat Loaf’s and Steinman latest collaboration Braver Than We Are and Meat are not expected to be part of it when the show debuts in London in February.
Casting is underway, and I really hope they don’t cast Adam Lambert in the role. I know people think he could be the next Meat, but I am sorry, he is not.
When it comes to musical, I have to admit this news brought tears of joy to my eyes. I can’t stop kvelling.
