Nice empathy there

Not a fan, but if I was, I don't know what I'd be more upset about; Meatloaf's declining health, or finding out that he mimes to a pre-recorded track.

The mike was open, you can hear it crashing on the floor
Maybe he used the pre-recorded track because he was sick...

Or has a very talented background vocalist who doubles certain parts and covers others for him like some other bands we're fans of.
My first guess is that it was a recording but, like Doc, I heard his mic crash to the floor so I've got to believe he wasn't actually miming.
Regardless of his live production techniques, I hope he's OK and on the road to recovery. I've received much enjoyment listening to his music over the years and wish him nothing but the best.
Peace,
Mr DJA

The vocals continue even while he's on the floor without a microphone, so at best, he was singing along with a pre-recorded track. The backing vocals also appear to have been on tape. I'm sure he's not the only classic rocker who does this. I just wonder how widespread the practice really is.

Here's another wider angle
No backing vocalists in sight

French rock superstar Johnny Halliday had a vocal double for years. Off stage sometimes and mostly on stage. His name was Eric Bamy. He died a few years ago.
He was such a great vocal match that he was the voice on Johnny Hallyday's karaoke DVD back in the days

Not unusual with play-back / pre-recorded vocal. Such as:
The male singer from Boney M never sang.
Posh Spice neither sang, she couldn't.

Please, no pics of Meatloaf totally (or even partially) stripped.

Just got home to find my deluxe version on the doorstep.
I ordered it from Amazon DE but according to the label it shipped from Fife in Scotland.
I bought the DVD version and according to the fly cover, on the back of the book, the DVDs are NTSC region 0 and should play on my regular player here in the US.
I may be incommunicado this weekend. . . .

If you are in the States, why Amazon DE instead of UK? Is the price better?
