"Meat Loaf Rushed To Hospital?!?" - Reuters News - Page 2

goodhip · 18 Nov 2003, 20:14

I was at Wembly last night and can say a big thankyou to meatloaf for given us what he did when he was ill he could off said no and yet he gave it his best shot well done to the man we had him for an hour and it was the best hour of my life hat off to the man of stell and hope you recover soon

Kitty Kat · 18 Nov 2003, 20:19

Very sad.

Lets hope that he listens to the doctors and takes their advice, whatever it is. Hopefully he will then recover his health and strength and be able to maybe complete some of his remaining converts.

Rosie - it must have been awful to be sitting so close and see it all happen.

ChrissybabezNI · 18 Nov 2003, 20:27

Hey all im just new on here

I heard about it today and read more about it on here. I hope Meat gets well soon I'm set to go to his concert in Belfast on 7th December but Id much rather wait and have him well before he tries to do anything!

I really hope Meat gets well real soon. Is looking more and more likely that Sheffield on saturday will be cancelled, but you know what? - I'm not the least bit bothered. All that matters is Meat's health, and I'm sure he is in the best of hands. And probably flirting terribly with all the pretty young nurses....

But seriously, I think we can all see the measure of the man from the events of the last day. He was obviously in no state to perform, and that he chose to go ahead says a lot about the Meat Loaf we all love. I hope I would have as much strength and courage as him in the same situation.

And to think people were actually booing as he went off stage. this sickens and disgusts me in a way I cannot describe. for all they knew, the man could have been dying! Thank heaven that it wasn' that serious, but how could these half-humans have known that? I hope they are feeling as low as Meat probably is right about now.

I can't say much more tha has already been said svereal times by people more wordy than me, so I just want to repeat my best wishes to Meat, his family, crew and band, and to let them know that our thoughts are with them all right now.

God speed to recovery Meat

I salute you!

A direct message to the man himself,

Meat, what have you done son? Ignorin' your doctor's orders like that. I's asay you best be gettin' your beauty rest. Y'know you're important to us, an' mean the world to most of us. You know I almost had to go to the hospital, but I was to stubborn for not letting my school take me.

I was told it has to do with alsers (ALL-SURS). Too much stress

. Something about holes in my stomach? I didn't quite listen to my teacher's details.

But the point of this message to say is, Meat, you getz your self better son, we all love ya here at MLUKFC, and think twice next time when your rockin. There's a time to rock, and then there is a time to rock n sleep, and get your beauty rest.

Get better and Keep Rockin'!! Cause you are the man!!!!!

fluffy · 18 Nov 2003, 21:21

I was there too last night but didnt hear any boo-ing (I was too busy crying

)
It was very painful too watch the big man suffering and he had tears in his eyes when he had to finally give in and go off
Hope he has a speedy recovery
Hugs
Fluffy

PanicLord · 18 Nov 2003, 21:38

"Meat Loaf has been ill for almost two weeks now so I think the best place for him IS hospital so that they can find out why it's taking him so long to recover and cure him. " said Sue.

Keep rocking, but get some rest first :)

Luv ya big fella

some people were booing??? They should commend a man that don't want to feel he's letting his fans down by cancelling and give it his best shot.
This makes me so sad. Imagine how that must have made Meat feel, if he heard it.

That is NOT done. I can understand people being disappointed that he wasn't able to finish the concert, but they all could see the reason.

In Oberhausen, he performed while being ill and having a fever, and he was able to give a great performance for 2,5 hours. I have great respect for that. But if he had to stop in the middle because he just couldn't finish: I would never booh him. I would still have respected him for trying.

madonna123968848 · 18 Nov 2003, 23:55

Should be like swearing at a football match the so called "fans" can be banned from matches, anyone who acts like an idiot (like booing) at a concert should be banned from the concerts in future!!!

Does make me mad!!!

Mine too. Well, at least he is giving it a rest, he tries so hard to get back to his fans that he overdoes it sometimes...The true fans here can wait. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Get well Meat, I'm praying for you

He's been on my mind all day too Anglel. And like you, I'm very glad he's getting the treatment and rest that he needs right now.

Please Get Well Soon Meat

Well said Angel,
Meat needs his rest and at least he is getting it now.

What can I say but I second that.......

Meat, god speed and take time recovering.

meatfan · 19 Nov 2003, 02:06

This flu is nasty. I had it 8 weeks ago and was ill for 4 weeks, and not feeling too well and tired for a further 2 weeks. Like Meat I am 56.

My sister (54) and brother (55) both caught it a few days after me, but were in France for a 5 day holiday. Linda was so ill on the plane coming home, they thought she was going to die! She was taken to hospital and was in for 5 days. She was very poorly and not responding to anti-biotics for the first 3 days. She was very weak when she came home and needed a lot of help just to wash and eat.

My brother Chris was on antibiotics and was ill for many weeks - he is still not 100% and has an enlarged heart so he has to be very careful. At one point I was going to the hospital to see Linda, after taking my brother a meal or shopping for him - all this after a normal day's work and caring for my grandchild who is 4.

The message to Meat is look after number one! To booing fans - what if Meat was your brother or father????

Heather.

Cpl Mickey · 19 Nov 2003, 02:21

Heather glad that you all are recoverd,if not all of you 100%. I hope meat sees your post and takes notice and has a complete break to recover before even attempting any more concerts.

bmbcali · 19 Nov 2003, 02:32

I wrote some time back that I was very concerned about Meat's health. Could this tour be plagued by any more problems? I think this all goes back to the beginning of the tour right after he had surgery! I'm sure he went back on the road much sooner than his doctor wanted him too. I know he felt an obligation to be out there.

However, I just had surgery myself and the doctor said it would be at least 6 weeks of recovery time. Well it is 4 now and I'm slowly getting better, but I surely wouldn't want to be on the road touring after this ordeal!

Also, is he taking anything to keep him going? Didn't he fall from the stage not too long ago. I am very worried about Meat.

Anyway, it takes a while to recover from surgery. If he wasn't fully recovered and tires himself each night and "burns the candle at both ends" he is bound to end up with whatever is going around, like the flu or other viruses. I just pray they find out what is wrong and he takes his stubborn self and listens to his doctors! I'm concerned that he could end up with pneumonia if he ignores his health. Hey, I had a friend last year that started out with a simple cold and instead of resting, kept going to work, thinking the world would stop if they didn't go to work. Anyway, they ended up with bronchitis on the verge of pneumonia!! We had another guy at work about 6 months ago end up in the hospital for pneumonia--he has been out of commission for 6 months!!!

This is serious stuff. I'm sure all fans would prefer Meat would get completely well instead of continue if he is not well. Meat please listen, we care and you are more important to us than this tour continuing if you aren't well!

Brenda

meatfan · 19 Nov 2003, 02:50

Hear Hear!

Linda had "Deep lobe pneumonia" in BOTH lungs after starting off with flu.

Didn't start with antibiotics until hospitalized in UK. Meat is in the best hands.

me too- hospital is the best place for him- i hope the antibiotics and fluids and general stuff make him better soon and hopefully some1 will tell him that just trying to the concert was enough for the true fans and he didn't let anybody down!

heat · 19 Nov 2003, 11:43

If Meat could be healed by the power of good wishes then by now he'd be fit as a fiddle!!!!

It's really heartening to see so many fans pulling together for Meat, and i'm sure that if he ever gets time to read these get well wishes then he'd be incredibly proud and encouraged.

I think it just goes to show what a great communtity we are here, and how much we can pull together when the need arises.
