Rock singer Meat Loaf Collapses On Stage During Concert. Grammy-winning singer Meat Loaf collapsed on stage during a concert in Edmonton, Canada, according to news reports.
The Paradise by the Dashboard Light singer was performing at the Northern Jubilee Auditorium when he collapsed, the Edmonton Sun and CBC News reported.
CBC News said via Twitter the 68-year-old artist's condition is unknown. Representatives for Meatloaf did not immediately reply to USA TODAY's request for comment and his social media accounts had not been updated to reflect the incident as of Friday morning.
Meat Loaf, who is best known for his Bat of Hell trilogy of albums, is touring in Canada. He was scheduled to perform at the Jubilee Monday, but the show was postponed "due to illness," according to the singer's Facebook page.
One witness, Jamie Carriere, told CBC News Meat Loaf was performing his Grammy-winning song I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) from the 1993 album as an encore when he collapsed.
"He fell … he just fell," Carriere said. "You could hear the microphone just hit the ground."
Concertgoer Mikey McBryan said the audience was asked to vacate the arena, said Mikey McBryan. He added that the singer seemed to be struggling with that night's performance. “It was him forgetting words, he wasn’t on cue, but it was forgiveable,” he said. “We’re all loving it and going crazy, and then it just took a turn for the worst.”
In 2003, Meat Loaf collapsed during a performance in London. He was treated for exhaustion stemming from a virus, hospital officials later said. He also fainted during a concert in July 2011, in Pittsburgh. After several minutes on the ground, Meat Loaf got back up and finished his show, according to The New York Daily News.
Eerily, Meatloaf told USA TODAY last year that he expects he'll die onstage. He has even drawn up a list of instructions for the band should that premonition come true. "If it's too morbid to leave me lying there, then they'll take me off, and the band will play When the Saints Go Marching In. Then the piano player will play Take Me Out to the Ballgame, and the band will get everybody to stand up and sing. Even if I'm dead, the show's going on."
