My World As I Knew It Has Ended










I thank Miss K for breaking this to me gently ...

Meat Loaf has stunned fans by announcing his shock retirement as he walked off stage mid-song in England.

Performing in Newcastle, the 60-year-old sang just the first line of 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light' before exiting the stage, leaving his fans speechless.








"I can no longer continue," the 'Bat Out Of Hell' rocker told the crowd.

"This is the last show I may ever do in my life.

"This is my last ever gig, this is my last ever song.

"Thanks for 30 years … I can't do this any more."

A doctor was called to examine Meat Loaf, real name Michael Lee Aday, and said the entertainer was suffering from exhaustion.

His following concert in Birmingham was cancelled, while the fate of his world tour remains unclear.

"It was devastating having to come off stage in Newcastle but over time, I've reluctantly learned that I have to abide by what the doctors tell me to do," Meat Loaf said in a statement.

The tour was expected to visit Australia in February.

The folks at work greeted me with mocking sympathy (I was hoping they had done something constructive like watch the news but allegedly Miss G let them know)and this mocking continued all day. Yes anony, you have competition in the 'lets make fun of MG and Meat Loaf' but I think you may still be ahead, just :-)
