LONDON, England (Reuters) - American rock singer Meat Loaf is recovering from heart surgery after collapsing on a London stage last week, his record company said Tuesday.
The star had surgery to treat Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a defect of the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat.
The 56-year-old, famed for his mega-hit "Bat Out Of Hell," was recovering at a private location in London after undergoing surgery last Friday.
The singer collapsed in the middle of a sold-out concert at London's Wembley Arena last Monday.
"He will be receiving additional tests later this week to determine the success of the procedure after which more details of both his condition and tour plans are expected to be given," his record company said.
