Janet Jackson, Cher and now Meat Loaf! The oldies rocker was recently awarded the ‘Q Classing Song Gong’ for his 1979 hit ‘Bat Out of Hell’ at the Q Awards ceremony which was held in London. Unfortunately, he had to leave the festivities early to receive medical treatment after suffering vertigo. Meat Loaf apparently hit the red carpet looking dishevelled, was unsteady on his feet and spoke incoherently when he accepted his gong on stage. Award show-goers also say that he almost fell during the presentation of the award. Is it really vertigo or was he just drunk? If it was vertigo, I hope he gets better. If he was drunk, he needs to set his priorities straight.

Meat Loaf will never play live in any cold countries.

The rocker admits he hates chilly climates and was left stunned after his now-sacked management team told him they had booked him shows in Canada during February 2007.

The 60-year-old singer told Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper: “I said, ‘Do not, under any circumstances, book me anywhere cold in the winter.’ And so they came back to me and said, ‘We’re going to book you in Canada in February.’ I said, ‘Well, why don’t we just play for penguins?’ ”

Meat Loaf – born Marvin Lee Aday – developed a bad sinus infection by the end of last year’s Canadian tour, leading him to describe his last performance in Ottawa as ‘atrocious’. He said of the concert: ‘I just wanted to bury my head in the sand… Or bury my head in the snow, I should say.”
