Meat Loaf has cancelled his entire European tour because of a cyst on his vocal chords.
The announcement comes after the singer cut short a show in Newcastle last Wednesday (October 31st) – which was later blamed on acute laryngitis.
In a statement the singer said: "It really breaks my heart not to be able to perform these shows. I will be back."
Speculation has surrounded the singer’s future after he reportedly told the crowd in Newcastle last week that it would be “the last show I may ever do in my life."
It's not yet known when or if the dates will be rescheduled.
