Webster said in an e-mail Friday that Meat Loaf stayed at The London Clinic for three days for "testing and evaluation." The reason for the hospitalization wasn't disclosed, but on the red carpet the singer told an interviewer that he had woken up that morning "spinning" from vertigo.

"I gotta go to the doctor right after this is over," he told reporters. Watch:

Presenter Alan Carr joked that Meat "was a bit worse for wear" and appeared medicated during the ceremony.

"He tipped forward and almost fell off the stage and I actually saved him! I saved his life!"

Webster says Meat Loaf has been cleared to travel back to the U.S. He's set to perform in Clearwater, Florida, on October 17 and Pompano Beach, Florida, on October 18.

I feel for te man. People are to quick to judge. I was diagnosed with M.S. at 13 yrs. old. My equilibrium was so out of wack, my speedh was slurred, and ability to stand for more than a minute was impossible. Teachers, family, and friends thought I was drinking or doing drugs, which I never touched. I am now 43 and thank God for the great support of the people around. When I have bad days people don't know me jump to the same conclussion that some are judgeing Meatloaf with. Be careful how you judge when you don't know the whole story.

You dont have to be on drugs to have a virtigo problem. It is a scarey and serious problem if you ever had it you will know.Some of these comments are judgmental, and ignorant as can be.it never makes anyone look good calling others names. It only shows ones lack of education.
