Actually, not proud to admit it but I thought he was already dead. Maybe we need a "Dead Or Alive" thread. But I was reading on the web that many have died in the last couple of years.

And now I wonder what happened after, maybe they had an intermission, maybe gave him some good drugs and the concert continued ? I remember a buddy telling me that the lead singer of, I can't think of the name of the band right now but they did "Love Hurts" rolling out on stage right after a bad accident in a wheelchair and singing his ass off.

Not a singer, but Chris Farley had a shit ton of energy for a fat person. I may have conflated him with Meatloaf.

But anyone who has ever tried to REALLY sing knows that it takes alot of energy. Think of Meatloaf's hits, Dashboard Lights and Bat Out Of Hell, try singing those.

Some of these people REALLY work, lead singer for ACDC jumping all over the place, many others I can't begin to list here. In fact, who all has even tried to play a guitar and sing at the same time. I developed that skill but I admit I am not that good at it. As such I have learned to appreciate talent.

Some of these people go so nuts on stage they have to do cocaine to go to sleep. I remember one place I worked where every once in a while we pulled an all nighter, and I know I could not get to sleep afterwards. Almost always missed the next day.

I think that most people can keep going on and on and their body and mind adapt, and then sleep is not even a thought. They won't stop until they drop.

Also, Meatloaf is obese, possibly morbidly obese. He is probably on some medications. If he is on certain drugs he should probably stop taking them before a performance. Like vasodilators for example. I know stopping them can result in a stroke, but you are making big money. There are also other drugs people should not take, ACE inhibitors, calcium blockers and a few others, especially any psychotropics, but there was probably no reason to believe Meatloaf was on psyche drugs. Almost all mass shooters are, or were actually. But he never shot anyone as far as I know.

Anyway, bottom line is that it is just as likely that his medications caused this as his condition. People need to manage their drugs. Just like diabetics have to take blood sugar reading. He should know "I have to go nuts on stage tomorrow so I am not taking this and that and only taking a half of that". You have the right to do that, doctors orders are not the law of the land. If they were my Father would have been dead five years earlier. They made a mistake on his prescription, giving him something like five times the amount he needed.

Anyway, I wonder if this was caused by medication he was on. He knew about his condition which means he went to a doctor, and doctors prescribe medication. Logical ?

I don't even take aspirin. I mean nothing.
