The 68-year-old was performing his hit song "I'd Do Anything For Love," when he experienced a health crisis and fell to the floor.
He was taken to an Edmonton hospital for treatment. Concert-goers tell reporters that the singer seemed "out of it" during the performance, and they were very concerned for his health.
Meatloaf had cancelled a concert in Calgary due to illness this past Monday.
In the last hour, Meatloaf's reps put out the following statement about Meatloaf's status:
"Meat Loaf collapsed Thursday night due to severe dehydration near the end of his concert at the Northern Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
He was admitted to a nearby hospital to undergo routine tests. His vital signs are stable and normal — he's responsive and recovering well.
He extends his heartfelt thanks for everyone's support and well wishes, and is expecting a speedy and full recovery.
Any concert postponements / rescheduled dates will be announced at a later time.
Thank you for your support and understanding."
