MEAT LOAF Collapses On Stage In Edmonton, Condition Unknown; Video
After cancelling two concerts earlier this week due to ill health, legendary rock singer Meat Loaf collapsed on stage toward the end of his show in Edmonton on Thursday night (June 16th), reports 680 News.
Jeremy Westby with Webster Public Relations has issued the following update:
“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 - additional tests are being performed but he is 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.”
A spokesman for Alberta Health Services would not provide any information on his condition, only confirming that a man had been taken to hospital.
One video of the performance at Edmonton’s Jubilee Auditorium showed the singer bending over, then knocking over his microphone stand and falling to the floor. Audience members said he had been singing his classic “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).”
Mikey McBryan, 33, an ice pilot from Yellowknife who had taken his mom to the show for her 70th birthday, said the singer had appeared to be struggling earlier in the performance. “It was him forgetting words, he wasn’t on cue, but it was forgivable,” said McBryan. “We’re all loving it and going crazy, and then it just took a turn for the worst.”
More than a few fans had noticed, with one tweeting Meat Loaf “did not look good 2nite. Was worried he wouldn’t last.”
“He sounded terrible from the start,” wrote another. “It was like he pushed through each song.”
Meat Loaf has said he suffers from asthma and from a medical condition that causes an irregular heartbeat.
