Meat To Receive Q Award - Page 3

**allrevvedup** · 06 Oct 2008, 21:53

saw the clip, maybe it was just the sunglasses that changed his look but he didn't look well.

Sarge · 06 Oct 2008, 21:57

I saw pics prior to any reports and thought that he looked quite elegant but I was wondering about the glasses and if he wore them to conceal something. After reading this thread I know why. What a pity that he felt unwell. I hope he gets better soon.

*AndyK* · 06 Oct 2008, 22:06

The way I read the reports it comes across to me that Meat cut his eye not long before the awards ceremony, so it's possible that he was shaken after whatever the "accident" was which could be why he isn't looking his best in the pics perhaps?

Poor Meat, I hope he feels better soon and his eye isn't too badly hurt.

Just heard the audio from Meat's acceptance speech and he was definitely under the influence of something; be it prescribed or otherwise there is no doubting it. He sounded slow, confused, and displayed none of the usual sharp-witted banter we've come to love. I hope he sorts himself out.

I wouldn't post this if I didn't believe it myself so take a listen to Q Radio online at this link http://radioplayer.qthemusic.com/ and then choose the highlights show on the right hand side.

His bit appears around 10 minutes into the show.

honeyrose · 07 Oct 2008, 03:03

Well to be honest I rather hope his performance on Q was just the result of too many substances, only if not it sounds rather like PSP which Dudley Moore had.

("In 1987, Dudley Moore enlisted music critic Renata Fruchter as an artistic partner and they performed as a duo in the U.S. and Australia. However, his disease soon started to make itself apparent as his fingers would not always do what he wanted them to do. Symptoms such as slurred speech and loss of balance were interpreted by the public and the media as a sign of drunkenness. Dudley Moore himself was at a loss to explain this.

On 30 September 1999, Moore announced that he was suffering from the terminal degenerative brain disorder Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. wikipedia).

PSP symptoms include loss of balance, slurred speech and vision focus problems. In particular moving the eyes, particularly in the vertical direction. The latter accounts for some of the falls experienced by these patients as they are unable to look up or down.

**The Flying Mouse** · 07 Oct 2008, 03:03

Thanks for the link

Doesn't sound too good

Quite a bit of sluring going on, but he HAD complained of vertigo.

Sounds like Meat has taken a nasty tumble shortly before the show and has not been feeling right since.
Hopefully he'll be well recovered soon.

Must say that the highlights show doesn't seem to be very coherent at all.
It seems like they've quite literally took a few comments from his speech, edited them together, and threw it on the show.
For instance, we've heard it reported Al told Meat he liked his hair, and Meat replied in kind.That is missing from this recording.
I don't think it's a totally accurate representation of Meat's speech.

Although he clearly wasn't his old self, I think the edit made him seem much worse.

duke knooby · 07 Oct 2008, 03:05

he was briefly shown and mentioned on ch5 news coverage about 7.20pm, but they just said looking the worse fo wear

I'm getting tired of that kind of news. I wish I hadn't listened to that audio clip. I don't know what is wrong with him but something is wrong.

MeatGrl1 · 07 Oct 2008, 04:46

Yes those last pictures in the last few articals I posted shocked me, not seen him like that before

. Hope he gets better soon.

Pudding · 07 Oct 2008, 06:27

When you reach the lofty heights of a 'Q' award then it's only natural you might suffer from a little vertigo

Man, no words really.
Hope it all turns out for the best....

meatloaf-unofficial · 07 Oct 2008, 11:54

Where's the real Meat gone????

I found a news Q on youtube about Meat too:

Rock star Meat Loaf leaves the Q Awards for medical treatment after slurring his words and nearly falling off stage.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XRojTsPMHmk&feature=user

meatloaf-unofficial · 07 Oct 2008, 12:01

sorry but listening to the audio it was really hard to listen to..... god, imo, I think its really good that we didn't see Meat on video accepting the awards - I think its too sad a time....

You so gotta get better

PS>> Look on the rbight side, HE attended it no matter what, so thats what counts. At least he didn't stay in his hotel room (if you get what I mean)

Also after reading the articles, why do poeple always assume he drinks and appear drunk! I think he's genuinly ill and not drunk!!! Makes me mad - they can't seem to take his word!!!!!

Some people really have no f***ing brains

The people in that crowd were bang out of order.

Meat looked bloody awful and nearly took a header as soon as he got out of the van, and the crowd just ignored that and shouted for autographs (that will probably end up on e bay anyway).

What if he'd been run over by a car?
Would it be cool to run to his side brandishing a copy of Bat Out Of Hell and a black marker pen?

Sorry, but if you see someone who is obviously ill, no matter who it is, you show them a little respect and leave them alone.

meatloaf-unofficial · 07 Oct 2008, 12:31

Meat was apparently rushed to hospital after a vertigo attack (not sure what one of those is) last night and another article saud, he was still in there...

Hope he's free now

From the Daily Mirror - no doubt it will make the papers today if not sooner:

i am sooo unhappy to read and see this, especially the last video from the arrival. hope, Meat is getting better soon.

sexyeyes_jo · 07 Oct 2008, 13:32

thats disgraceful what they done to meat, he could hardly stand up and yet they kept bothering him for bloody autographs obviously the man ain't well and surely if someone ain't well they would want to be left alone and to get on with it no matter who they are, if they had any respect for meat they would have left him alone, don't people have any common sense left any more? or is it they're to think to see that he is ill. at least he made the effort to go to the awards in first place he could of just pulled out of it, im sure there will be plenty of other times to get autographs from meat its not like he ain't gonna come to london again.

Skeleton · 07 Oct 2008, 14:07

I have a really slight epilepsy. I don't have those major seizures and I don't need any medication so don't worry about me.

I feel dizzy at times (maybe 2 times a month, slight seizure) but couple years ago I had a really huge vertigo attack and I had to lay down.. It was horrible..

I couldn't move without feeling that I'm going to stumble and I felt a little bit sick.. And the most horrible thing is that it lasted for hours..

It sort of paralyzed me..

I hope that Meat gets well soon..

He's wonderful man and really deserved the Q-award..

poor meat. i couldn't listen to that audio clip, he sounded so ill. he's so brave, my moms have vertigo and she couldn't get out of bed for three days and any movement left her being violently sick. vertigo is to do with the balence in the inner ear and this can get disturbed by a fall or a blow to the head ect, it leaves the person feeling and being violenty sick, unstable on their feet and unable to balence, movement cause the world to spin. it takes ages to get over and some people have it for life, in varying degrees. i hope you get better meat, x

**Diane** · 07 Oct 2008, 16:23

Video of Meat talking to the media about his vertigo problems on his arrival at the Q Awards.

I hope he's feeling much better today.
