Meat Loaf abandons UK gig

American rocker Meat Loaf left fans disappointed after abandoning his UK gig after one hour, citing exhaustion.

The singer - who collapsed onstage at London's Wembley Arena in 2003 - struggled through his set before telling fans he could no longer continue.

A spokeswoman for the star says he halted his performance because of an inflammation of the larynx.

His tour promoter Andrew Miller says: "I've spoken to his doctor, and it's clear it's just exhaustion and stress. It's not his last ever gig, that's for sure."
