Meat Loaf taken ill and cancels Loose Women TV appearance

wizardofodd · 29 Feb 2012, 14:27

Meat Loaf was taken ill today and was unable to appear on the Loose Women programme. He was advertised throughout the show and they showed clips of him waiting in the green room (having fun with a banana on his head) but when he was due to come on the presenter announced he was taken ill, so it may have been something sudden but not sure. Hope it isn't anything serious. Get well soon Meat.

Hope you feel better soon, Meat.

robgomm · 29 Feb 2012, 15:11

I hope he feels better soon. You know he did shake some hands last night and meet a lot of people. Hope he didn't pick up a bug.

Ollie241189 · 29 Feb 2012, 15:15

Meat, get well soon, get rested up and hopefully we can all stand with you trying to stop the world going completely to hell in a handbasket soon! Stay strong Meat! You the man!!!

K1ttycat · 29 Feb 2012, 15:28

Totally missed this - didn't know about Loose Women today. Hope he is okay...

LucyK! · 29 Feb 2012, 15:43

Last night at the signing he looked great, really really well, but I thought he looked tired on Daybreak this morning, suddenly so compared to yesterday.

Get well soon big man!

tonyloaf · 29 Feb 2012, 15:59

Take it easy Meat and thanks for a great night in London

Sue K · 29 Feb 2012, 16:10

Unfreakingbelievable !!! I just sat here with mouth hanging reading this. Tell me again because I'm in the States trying to follow. I know he was in fine form until at least 8pm last night from what I've read... then what ? Is it that he did do one tv show ? or was that radio ? and then off to this Two Ladies show (I think it's said) and ads are running... and you're seeing Meat in the green room at THAT venue (tv show) and then... zap ... he's sick ??? ... I don't understand ...

... Thanks in advance for explanation ... xo

LucyK! · 29 Feb 2012, 16:13

He did a show on Monday night and looked great, then another show and the signing yesterday at which he really did look well. He did a breakfast show this morning but that was a very quick interview, five minutes at most and I thought he looked tired, then the live lunchtime show is the one he's taken ill at...must have been a sudden thing though because as people have said he was fooling around in the green room as he does...maybe just took a funny turn, stomach upset or something?!

Not a clue... Perhaps he ate something that didn't agree with him... If you've been there and done that, as I have been, you know how quickly that can have you off to the loo !!! ... We'll hope that's all it is ... Thanks, Lucy, for explaining Meat's schedule ... It's hard to keep up when he's on a whirlwind promo tour ! ... xo

LucyK! · 29 Feb 2012, 16:41

Following on from some of the questions in the album signing thread, Meat did actually shake hands with people last night.

One of the first people in the first group to go up offered their hand, Meat shook it and the security guards didn't mind, so once people had seem one person do that and get away with it, everyone did it!

I can't imagine he'd catch something that quickly but after all that talk in the other thread about keeping him away from germs this is just bad timing!

Vickip · 29 Feb 2012, 17:00

Thanks Lucy ... I can't keep up with his schedule either, and didn't know he did an interview this morning. It's a shame he had to miss this one

but IMHO hopefully it wasn't anything serious, and he'll feel better soon.

Take care Meat and try to get some rest !

That's exactly what I was thinking.

wizardofodd · 29 Feb 2012, 17:05

Press are picking up on the story now. Hope it is nothing serious. It could just be exhaustion it's just the good spirits he seemed to be in backstage that is a little worrying.

No he wouldn't .. it would take longer to develop. As Sue says, a stomach bug can his suddenly, or he might have had a bout of vertigo .. or it might be the reason given for some other emergency.

And the man is indomitable .. hope whatever it may be is resolved soon, and he's back to the picture of rude health he was last night :)
