Description

A brilliant showman, singer-actor Meat Loaf is world renowned for his record-breaking, chart-topping albums and his career as a cult-film mainstay. Born in Dallas, Marvin Lee “Meat Loaf” Aday moved to Los Angeles in 1967 to seek a career in music, at first playing in local bands and then making his acting debut in stage productions of Hair and As You Like It, soon followed by a memorable film debut in the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). In 1977, he and lyricist Jim Steinman released the operatic rock LP Bat Out of Hell, a megahit that sold 35,000,000 copies worldwide. During the ’80s he pursued acting more regularly, appearing in such movies as Out of Bounds (1986), The Squeeze (1987) and Wayne’s World (1992). He has since dominated the album charts in 1993 with the sequel LP Bat Out Of Hell II, which went to #1 in the US and UK and sold in excess of 20,000,000 copies, while furthering his acting credits with roles in Tales from the Crypt (1992), Fight Club and Spice World (both 1999), The Salton Sea (2002), and Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, among others.
