The 68-year-old performer, whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday, collapsed on stage during a concert in Edmonton, Canada on Thursday. He was taken to a hospital in unknown condition according to The Canadian Press.

LEGENDARY rock singer Meat Loaf reportedly collapsed on stage during his performance in western Canada Thursday night.

The Edmonton Journal reported Meat Loaf was performing at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton and collapsed around 9.30pm (1.30pm Friday AEST).

Fans were told to exit the venue as emergency personnel arrived at the scene, according to the Journal.

His condition is unknown at this time.

The latest incident comes days after Meat Loaf had to cancel a show in Calgary over an illness.

Lindsay Sundmark, a fan who attended the concert, told the Edmonton Journal she saw Meat Loaf collapse.

“He was performing ‘I Would Do Anything For Love,’ and all of a sudden in the middle of it he collapsed right on stage. We weren’t sure at first whether it was part of the act or it was something for real,” she said.

Sundmark said Meat Loaf was being transported to a hospital around 10pm local time.

Britt Brewer attended the concert with her brother, mother and co-worker. She told the Journal the whole incident was “surreal.”

“It looked at first like he was just being theatrical and lying down on the stage,” she said.

Fan Sophie Shandalla, 17, told the Edmonton Journal said she was scared and didn’t know what to think.

Her mother Lotta said the band stopped playing instantly.

It isn’t the first time the rock singer has passed out on stage.

In 2011 he fell to the floor at a July 29 concert in Pittsburgh and the “Bat Out of Hell” singer was surrounded by his crew as medics revived him.

TMZ reported at the time the 68-year-old got back up and finished his concert.

He told the audeience, “I f***ing fainted. I have asthma ... I can’t breathe ... And then ... oh wait, I forgot .. I got poked by a pin and bled half to death ... and then I got slapped in the face and my tooth is loose.”

During an Australian tour in 2011, Meat Loaf told Fairfax Media his fans shouldn’t panic if he collapses on stage.

He said he had been carrying around an oxygen mask onstage since 1967 because of his asthma.

“I would venture to say one out of every two nights I use [asthma spray]. It’s like I’ll get some sort of asthma attack at every show, so it’s not that big of a deal,” he told Fairfax Media.

In 2003 Meat Loaf collapsed during a performance in London when he suffered from a health scare.

He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which causes an irregular heartbeat.

“It was a heart attack but it wasn’t serious. It actually put me in an elite group, as a lot of the people who suffer from the condition are athletes in peak condition, like marathon runners. My doctor said I should be flattered,” Meat Loaf told the Daily Mail in 2012.

He also once did a tour in a wheelchair after breaking both his legs when he jumped into the orchestra pit.

Fans have posted well wishes on the rocker’s Facebook page.

“Edmonton loves you. Please get well. Keep us updated. Your fans are worried and love you,” one commented.
