Meat Loaf is reportedly out of hospital after spending three days in a private clinic in London last week after being taken ill during the Q Awards where he was picking up a gong for 'Bat Out Of Hell', which won the Classic Song prize.
According to the Mirror, the singer was acting rather strangely during the show. They say he staggered on stage to pick up his award looking a bit worse for wear, mumbled a bit and then nearly fell into the crowd. He the demanded host Alan Carr re-introduce him, told the comedian to "get lost" when he refused, and then started to belt out Queen songs.
The tabloid reported that the singer was admitted to the London hospital suffering from "vertigo", though Meat Loaf's spokesman would only say this weekend that the singer had been undergoing "testing and evaluation" during his three days at the clinic.
It's just under a year since Meat Loaf was taken ill half way though a concert in Newcastle with throat problems. As he cut short the show he declared he would never perform again, though that bold statement was subsequently withdrawn and Meat did, indeed, perform again.
