Meatloaf recovering from surgery

From: CMU

Meat Loaf has confirmed he underwent heart surgery last week after doctors discovered he was suffering from a minor heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. As previously reported Meat Loaf collapsed on stage during a London gig last week. He cancelled his next London date and, despite hopes he would be back on stage last weekend, ended up having to postpone dates in Newcastle, Brighton, Glasgow and Sheffield.

Explaining his medical situation Meat Loaf yesterday told fans via his website that he had undergone heart surgery and was now recovering at his hotel, awaiting the OK from doctors to continue with his tour. He writes: "The prognosis is excellent as the procedure's success rate is over 95%. I was in surgery for around two hours, out of the hospital and back at the hotel."

Word is the singer hopes to be in fit-health for his Manchester date this weekend.
