The collapse was blamed on "exhaustion due to a prolonged viral infection," according to a press release. Meat Loaf tried to resume the show after collapsing, but was advised by on-scene paramedics to go to the hospital.

The incident occurred during the first of two consecutive sold-out nights at the venue, and caused the cancellation of Tuesday's (11/18) scheduled performance.

According to a statement, "Meat Loaf will be re-evaluated by doctors today and further information about his status will be made available."

Last week, Meat Loaf postponed his sold-out Nov. 13 and Nov. 15 performances under doctor's orders "after being struck down by a particularly vicious bout of flu," according to a press release issued on Friday (11/14).

Meat Loaf is in the midst of a sold-out, 18-date U.K. tour that backs his latest album, "Couldn't Have Said It Better," which surfaced in late September.
