| That his throat problems have returned and that's why he could not continue. OK, this is the story. I've just arrived back from the concert. From the off Meat was singing pretty bad. He was missing cues, making the band play on and seemed to have mike problems. Every now and again his voice did shine through as it was back in May. He got to It's all coming back to me now and you could tell something was wrong. You hardly hear him and he actually had to rest his head on Aspen Miller a couple of times. He had already cut Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us too. Then he started Paradise, the band kicked in and he pulled on his dress jacket. He looked across the audience and i think the exact words were..."Newcastle, thank you very much. I want you to enjoy this Paradise, Bat out of Hell, Anything for Love, Mercury Blues and Gimme Shelter because they may be the last of my fucking life." The audience were slightly stunned by that, he started the first line of Paradise but made it no further than "happened only yesterday", then he look out at the audience again and said "No, I can't. That's it. No more. Thank you Newcastle for 30 wonderful years. I take off my jacket (which he did, and dropped it on the stage), Say again thank you, and that's all there is is. Goodbye." And he left the stage. After few minutes the tannoy said that Meat had fallen in and could not be continuing. That's the story. > No apparently he was struggling with paradise just before > > > So was he halfway through singing Bat Out Of Hell when > > > happened? > > > > > > > I have jt received a call from my brother who went to> > > > see Meat Loaf tonight in Newcastle.
