The 52-year-old singer said in a London press conference on Friday (11/28) that he hopes to perform in Dublin on Tuesday (12/2), and to fulfill the remainder of his scheduled dates. He also plans to reschedule all of the shows that he postponed in recent weeks due to illness.

Among the shows he plans to make good on is his Nov. 17 appearance at London's Wembley Arena. He collapsed about an hour into his performance on that date, and was taken to a hospital.

He was later diagnosed with a heart condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which causes an irregular heartbeat. "Basically, it is a condition where an individual is born with an extra electrical pathway in the heart," Meat Loaf said in a statement issued last week.

"Your heartbeat can get up to 300 beats per minute and then it explodes, so that would have been uncomfortable," he addeda in last week's press conference. "I guess I cheated death."

He underwent a catheter ablation--during which the extra electrical pathway is removed to restore a normal heartbeat--on Nov. 1 in London.
