Meat Loaf Illness

Meat Loaf (real name: Marvin Lee Aday) is traveling around Europe on his farewell "Last At Bat" tour which he states will be his last after struggling with health problems in recent years.



On Sunday Meat Loaf, 65, cancelled the fifth of eight concerts lined up for Britain, issuing an apology on his Facebook page saying: "several members of the band" were ill and the concert in Nottingham would be rescheduled on May 20.

A spokesman for Meat Loaf could not give more information of the illness or Meat Loaf's health but revealed he expected him would be back on stage in Manchester on Wednesday.

Last month, ahead of his tour through Britain, Germany and the Netherlands, Meat Loaf told Reuters that he did not want to travel anymore.

"I outweigh (Mick) Jagger by about 100 pounds (45 kg) and that counts for something. He hasn't seen the wear and tear," Meat Loaf was quoted as saying.

It has to be noted that Meat Loaf cancelled a European Tour in 2007 after being diagnosed with a cyst on his vocal chords and sparked further fears for his health in 2011 when he collapsed on stage. He later blamed the blackouts on past  concussion injuries and his health issues on asthma.

Last year he underwent a knee replacement operation and is due to have an operation on his other knee shortly.
