Famous for the Meat Loaf songs “Bat Out of Hell,” “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That),” and “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” singer Michael Lee Aday known as “Meat Loaf” sues Dallas hotel over injuries suffered at the 2019 Texas Frightmare Weekend.

Meat Loaf Sues After Fall at Texas Frightmare 2019

According to the Petition, Meat Loaf was injured when he accidentally fell off of the stage, suffering injuries to three areas and requiring approximately 6 weeks of hospital care:

14. When Meat Loaf walked on the stage during the question and answer session, he put his foot down on part of the curtain that had nothing beneath it. Because there was no stage floor beneath his foot, his foot and leg went down into air, causing him to fall off the stage, resulting in serious injuries.

15. After Meat Loaf fell off the stage he sustained serious injuries to his neck, collar bone, and shoulder. He was taken via ambulance to the emergency room at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center—Grapevine, where he stayed for 12 days.

16. On May 16, 2019, Meat Loaf was transferred from Baylor Grapevine to Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee where he stayed for an additional 30 days.

17. After he spent 42 days in a hospital and was released, Meat Loaf had to participate in physical therapy and still has to participate in physical therapy for his injuries to this day. Meat Loaf’s injuries resulting in his hospitalizations and his physical therapy were caused by the negligence of the Defendants.

18. Since he was injured at the Texas Frightmare Weekend, Meat Loaf has been unable to return to performing, causing him to sustain significant economic loss.
