I thought he'd packed it in after embarrassing himself?US rock star Meat Loaf is "stable and in good condition" after collapsing on stage during a concert in Canada.
Video footage from Thursday's concert in Edmonton shows the singer, whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday, falling on stage during his performance.
A post on his Facebook page said he collapsed due to severe dehydration.
He was admitted to hospital for routine tests, and additional tests are being performed but he is described as "responsive and recovering well".
The message extended "his heartfelt thanks for everyone's support and well wishes" and said he is "expecting a speedy and full recovery".
Earlier in the week, the singer had cancelled shows in Moose Jaw and Calgary because of ill health.
Rescheduling of concert dates have yet to be announced.
The 68-year-old is one of rock's most successful recording artists, with hits including Bat Out of Hell.
He was performing another hit, I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That), when he dropped his microphone and fell to the floor on Thursday evening.
