Yea, not surprised, he is in his 70s and was never the picture of health. I believe he has fallen or passed out on stage multiple times over the years, including one time where he broke his collarbone. Never had the opportunity to see him live, and at this point wouldn't want to.

@korhun since I believe you are new to his songs you may also want to try these:

Heaven Can Wait
Anything for Love
You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth
Not A Dry Eye In the House

Of course his best known hit is likely "Heaven by the Dashboard Light" but its down on the list for me.

Pretty much anything from the 3 "Bat Out of Hell" albums are worth a listen.
