Meat Loaf cancels Manchester concert due to band illness

MANCHESTER, England, April 19 (UPI) -- A Manchester Arena spokesman says Meat Loaf canceled a third U.K. show this week due to medical reasons affecting several members of the band.

The singer postponed Sunday's concert in Nottingham and Wednesday's show in Manchester because he and his band-mates weren't feeling well.

They are expected to go on as scheduled in Sheffield Friday and in Cardiff, Wales, Sunday, the BBC said.

The illness from which the musicians have been suffering was not disclosed.

"Meat, the band and crew are massively disappointed to have to postpone a second show and send love and apologies," a spokesman wrote on the rock star's Facebook page.
