During a performance in Canada on Thursday, American rock singer, Meat Loaf, collapsed on stage.
In videos posted online, the 68-year-old rocker is seen suddenly dropping his microphone and falling to the floor, in the middle of his 1993 hit "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". Stage hands and band members rushed to his aid as he lay on the stage, and emergency personnel were summoned to the scene.
Audience members were ushered out of the Jubilee Auditorium in Alberta province, where the concert was holding.
Meat Loaf, born Marvin Lee Aday, had previously postponed a show in Calgary on Monday, due to illness.
He had slimmed down in recent years and suffered from frequent health problems. In 2013, the rocker told Reuters that he would stop touring. That same year, he pulled out of a concert in Britain, hours before he was due on stage.
He canceled a European Tour in 2007 after being diagnosed with a cyst on his vocal chords and has collapsed on stage at least once before.
He later blamed blackouts on past concussion injuries and other health problems on asthma. In 2012, he underwent a knee replacement operation.
