graham:
Led Zeppelin has cancelled too Jimy's broken his finger  :shock:

hobbit:
Meatloaf did cancel Birmingham but has been recheduled towards the end of the month

At the moment Nottingham is still on as far as the venue knows, so just got to wait and see, thing is I have someone who has to take time off from work to come down to watch it, and this last minute b/s is no help for them

hobbit:
Just found out the whole tour is now cancelled, not a vey happy wife & daughter now

Local venue not even contacted us, due to be on tomorrow (Thurs), no local radio announcement

Had to ring to find out

Got this info just now


--- Quote ---Doctors have diagnosed Meat Loaf with an inter-vocal cord cyst. As a result, the following remaining dates on Meat Loaf’s Three Bats Tour – which was to offer fans in upcoming arenas a rare chance to see their favorite singer live for the third time this year – have been cancelled:

06.11.07 London, UK Wembley Arena
08.11.07 Nottingham, UK Nottingham Arena
11.11.07 Cardiff, UK Cardiff Arena
13.11.07 Horsens, DEN Forum
15.11.07 Bergen, NOR Grieghallen
17.11.07 Stockholm, SWE Hovet
20.11.07 Rotterdam, NET Ahoy
22.11.07 Belfast, UK Odyssey
24.11.07 Killarney, IRE INEC
27.11.07 Manchester, UK MEN Arena
29.11.07 Birmingham, UK Birmingham NEC

Additional information for current ticketholders will be available shortly on meatloaf.net.

While most cysts of this type require surgery, voice therapy is usually conducted first to determine if it is necessary. It will be known in approximately four to six weeks what further course of action may be required.

Said Meat Loaf, “It really breaks my heart not to be able to perform these shows. I was really looking forward to capping off a great year and celebrating the start of the holidays with the fans. But I have to do what the doctors tell me so I can look forward to healing and coming back strong in 2008. Let me dispel any rumors before they start – I will be back.”

Seen him back in 1981 in Dublin Eire, got to say he was fantastic then but would not go even if the ticket was free now, his voice has long since left him, think it was when he lost all that wieght  :roll:

hobbit:
From what's being said it sounds like it could be a blessing in disguise, we will get out money back though

Hope he manages to come back next year cured
