Here I am with tears pricking my eyes, this is possibly the worst I've seen him in the public eye, it's distressing to see that, and you can clearly see that he isn't at all well, then people get annoyed when he doesn't sign something

, thanks for the link.

Get well soon Meat

Meat Loaf 'seeks treatment' after awards

LucyK! · 07 Oct 2008, 19:43

As yet I've not opened the links in this thread, and frankly after the past year I don't want to, I just hope that whatever problems he's suffered prior to the awards caused him to need painkillers or otherwise that have had an effect, and once he's off them he'll be back to normal...this press coverage is the last thing he needs following the Casa De Carne reviews

I don't think this is fair to point. Don't get me wrong I understand in a way where you are coming from.

HOWEVER: In the past when Meat has been described as being drunk it has always been based on his performances (that mixed in with his Dead Ringer antics obviously is a crazy assumption!

).
Now though, based on the footage of him almost stumbling out of the car, the photos and apparently what went on on stage (which you can't see) I think it's fair to point out he did seem AT LEAST drunk. That or heavily intoxicated on medicenes/painkillers / jetlag problems whatever. Which all seem quite plausible to me.
I actually hope that's all it ways.

**RadioMaster** · 07 Oct 2008, 19:56

because its not part of his image

geordieloaf · 07 Oct 2008, 20:10

To be honest although it wasn't very good to see him look like this let's not blow it out of proportion. Yes he seemed unwell, he said he had a bad bout of vertigo and appartently hurt his eye so yes i'm guessing he would have took something to try to get through the awards.
Even if that meant having a large drink so what? He was unwell his speach wasn't great again so what, i have heard alot worse from other celebs. Listen to the interview on the red carpet he sates he is feeling unwell and go's on to describe the vertigo problem. I thought he sounded ok on the red carpet and although obviously he was unwell, he then went on to say the highlight of his career is still infront of him.
I hope he recovers well but let's not get to down and jumping to conclusions and making something seem alot worse that it probably is!

LucyK! · 07 Oct 2008, 20:29

Absolutely Chris, not forgetting that on top of the vertigo, bad eye and appropriate painkillers Meat was probably also jet lagged

**RadioMaster** · 07 Oct 2008, 20:30

to be honest, I dont think the pics and videos look as bad as everyone says. He's clearly not well, but I've seen him in much worse condition.

Heg19 · 07 Oct 2008, 21:11

Hope he gets better soon whatever the illness is. We love you Meat xxx

LP · 07 Oct 2008, 21:15

Yeah, take a look at the Wembley '81/'82ish video!

I think being a more mature gentleman in that kind of state makes things appear worse. He's a rock star after all, he's allowed a drink or 2! It annoys me that his publicist always insists that he doesn't drink when we all know that he does. Who cares if he does?

To contradict myself a little - I think it was either very brave or very silly to venture out in front of the world's press in that state.

That's true and people forget he has trouble with his knee which makes him a bit unsteady at the best of times.
Plus we all know Meat given the chance can talk crap better than most i really don't think it is as bad as some people are making out!

who was it that said any publicity is good publicity?

samurai7 · 07 Oct 2008, 21:36

well, he IS in all the papers today

and I've had loads of people call me up to tell me just that...

**allrevvedup** · 07 Oct 2008, 21:44

He didn't look well and if he had an eye injury, of course that is going to affect his vision and balance and depending if he was on medication it would also affect him.

Overall he looked like an old man and, as something that will not be a news flash, hey he is 61 years old...there's been crazier things that have happened at award cermonies, Michael Jackson and Jarvis Cocker spring to mind.

Just have to add as well the important thing is that a great album was rightly recognised today

Rosiec211 · 07 Oct 2008, 21:46

I just wanna say Congratulations on the award Meat, and hope you are feeling lots lots better soon. Rosie xxx

Exactly!

I was talking to someone at work today and he mentioned his wife was suffering with vertigo ... and the symptoms sound just like the descriptions of Meat at the awards ... apparently it's fairly easily controlled though. So fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for Meat!

Just hope that his illness doesn't overdshadow the award!

Well, I for one don't know whether he drinks or not...neither do I care...so please don't include me in the mix...

**RadioMaster** · 07 Oct 2008, 22:51

what mix? Zina on the rocks or Zina on the beach??

AndrewG · 07 Oct 2008, 23:12

LMAO.

Honestly the sex on the beach drink was something I hadn't heard about a while ago and this led to an interesting situation with a girl from work.

.
A LOT of rumours were spread that day!!

Yep that is vertigo, i have suffered from it in the past, it is not pleasant and the symptoms displayed by Meat are akin to vertigo. Assumptions can be made, only Meat knows the real answer.
I think we could go round and round saying well is it this, is it that? but really all i care about is that Meat gets better soon, from whatever problem he has.

Yea he did have bad press for the last tour, but i loved every show, so i don't give a rats ass what the press say about the shows, and am taking what they say now with a pinch of salt.
I listen to other peoples opinion on the show, they are entitled to their view i respect that, but it doesn't change mine.
I have my opinion of what is wrong with Meat and i respect that people may think differently.
