Veteran rocker Meat Loaf is reportedly in recovery, with sources claiming the musician broke his collarbone during an onstage incident over the weekend.
No matter how you look at it, Meat Loaf is a pretty popular musician. With a 50-year career under his belt, more than 50 million album sales, and a number of songs and albums considered the best, the rocker has had a pretty amazing life in the spotlight.
Over the last few years though, the rocker has been facing a few health problems which have resulted in some rather nasty onstage incidents.
Following two fainting spells within just four days back in 2011, Meat Loaf again collapsed onstage in 2016, citing severe dehydration as the reason for the latter and an asthma attack for the former.
However, as TMZ reports, Meat Loaf’s latest incident has resulted in a trip to the emergency room, with broken bones being involved this time around.

Appearing at the Texas Frightmare Weekend recently, the 71-year-old rocker was taking part in a Q&A session with fans when he began to make his way across the stage.
Unfortunately, footage of the event shows Meat Loaf appearing visibly shocked as he begins to lose his balance, eventually falling through a curtain and off the stage.
According to TMZ, the singer was soon taken to hospital where it was revealed he had suffered from a broken collarbone. At this stage, there’s no word about his current situation, though fans are undoubtedly hoping he’ll be making a quick recovery.
In related news, Meat Loaf revealed back in 2018 that he would be heading out on tour, though the singing duties would instead be handled by American Idol winner Caleb Johnson.
“Meat Loaf is concerned he isn’t up to some of the bigger numbers after losing his voice a couple of years ago,” a statement read. “He’s been relying on pre-recorded vocal tracks for a while but doesn’t want to face accusations of miming on a huge tour, so is passing the baton on to Caleb, who he’s a big fan of.”
“Instead his involvement will be telling stories of how he met Jim Steinman, who he’s worked with since the Seventies, and other anecdotes. But the singing will be left to Caleb.”
