Meat Loaf denies fainting
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 5 August 2011
Meat Loaf did not faint twice last week, it was only once. So he says, anyway. And I’m not sure why he’d lie about it.
As previously reported, the singer passed out on stage in Pittsburgh last week. He blamed his asthma and finished the show once he had recovered.
Then on Tuesday, TMZ reported that he collapsed again following a performance at the New Jersey Balloon Festival on Sunday, producing a photograph of him breathing from an oxygen tank as proof.
But in a video message posted on YouTube explaining that he likes to keep his dressing room very hot (he doesn’t explain why) and walking back into it after the show was a bit much. He added that he often lies on the ground and breathes pure oxygen to ease his asthma after a show, and just because he was doing so on Sunday didn’t mean he’d fainted. Because he hadn’t. So, there you go.
Watch Meat’s message here.
