Meat Loaf collapses on stage
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 1 August 2011
Meat Loaf fainted on stage at a show in Pittsburgh last Thursday. The singer was reportedly out cold for several minutes after suffering an asthma attack, but got up and completed the show once he had recovered.
Before performing ‘Paradise By The Dashboard Light’, he explained to fans: “I’ve had really bad asthma for the last three days and it just fucking got me, OK? So… I’m not gonna fucking stop for nobody’s business”. He had apparently just finished singing ‘I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)’ when he collapsed. Which is annoying, because I had money on ‘fainting due to an on-stage asthma attack’ being the thing he wouldn’t do.
