Meat Loaf was performing in Edmonton yesterday when he suddenly collapsed on the stage. Being the performer that he is, he kept on singing I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) until he couldn’t anymore. The band, the crew and a paramedic rushed to his aid until an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital next door where he is recuperating.
According to up! 99.3 his spokesperson says that the singer is “in stable and good condition.”
The 68 year old singer cancelled a show in Calgary on June 13th for an undisclosed illness.
Hopefully he will be better soon and more people can experience one of the most powerful performers to ever grace the stage. Out of all of the concerts I have ever been to in my whole life, his concert still remains in my Top 3. He truly gives it his all and with the power of his voice that is something you can never forget. It stays with you for the rest of your life.
UPDATE: Here is the full statement on Meat Loaf’s condition:
Meat Loaf collapsed Thursday night due to severe dehydration near the end of his concert at the Northern Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
He was admitted to a nearby hospital to undergo routine tests. His vital signs are stable and normal — he’s responsive and recovering well.
He extends his heartfelt thanks for everyone’s support and well wishes, and is expecting a speedy and full recovery.
Any concert postponements / rescheduled dates will be announced at a later time.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
