Yes I do .. and when it happened it was terrible. However, I would not have described Meat's performance as poor or the show as a waste of money. I would have, and in fact did, describe what had gone before the show came to an end, which was positive, with Meat putting all his energy and passion into every song.
After Newcastle I wrote that he seemed to be "saving" his voice at the start, but then grew stronger and was belting out the songs, hitting the notes, and the song before Paradise was really great. Then when the band started the intro to Paradise, he tried to start, at least twice, and it was clear his voice had completely deserted him.
In Florida he came on in style and delivered 3 songs faultlessly, and I was all set for another spectacular show. Then he went into the wings and disappeared, followed by Kasim, who returned to say Meat had been taken ill.
At Wembley he was doing brilliantly .. song after song delivered with energy and passion .. and then he seemed to stagger ... and simply dropped like a stone.
