Hundreds of people are reportedly missing and many feared dead after a dam in Laos collapsed.

The incident at the hydroelectric dam in the Attapu province, southeast Laos occurred on Monday, and released enough water to fill more than two million Olympic swimming pools.

It sent flash flooding through six villages and at least 6,000 people have been made homeless. 

The dam was under construction at the time, however, the reason for the collapse is not yet known. 

Local authorities are appealing for emergency aid for those affected, including clothes, food, drinking water and medicine.

Meat Loaf collapsed on stage last night during a concert in Canada.

The singer cancelled another performance just days before due to an unknown illness.

The hit maker was in the middle of singing I'd Do Anything For Love, when he suddenly hit the ground.

Numerous videos of the incident were taken by fans at the gig, and soon surfaced on social media.

In the footage, Meat Loaf is seen lying on the stage motionless, before a flurry of medical staff rush to his side. He was then taken in an ambulance to a nearby hospital.

We hope he's recovering well.
