Meat Loaf has played down reports that he is suffering from a serious heart condition.

The singer, who is about to release his latest album Bat Out Of Hell III:The Monster Is Loose, has been subject to media focus surrounding his medical condition.

He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in 2003, after collapsing onstage at Wembley Arena, but insists there is nothing to worry about.

He said: "That was nothing. It's a minor thing that happens to a lot of long-distance runners. I was back onstage three-and-a-half weeks later."
