MeatLoaf – real name Marvin Lee Aday, but also known as Michael Lee Aday – was a popular rock singer whose musical journey began with Meat Loaf Soul in the 1960s, where his band opened for The Who and Grateful Dead among others.

He joined the Los Angeles production of Hair which led to him recording vocals on album Stoney & Meatloaf after accepting an invitation from Motown.

In early 1973, he re-joined Hair but this time on Broadway. Later that year, he was cast in the L.A Roxy cast of The Rocky Horror Show as Eddie and Dr. Everett Scott, reprising the role of Eddie in the cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Bat Out Of Hell was released in 1977 which sold more than 43 million copies worldwide and was certified 14x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album had spent 522 weeks in the UK Chart’s Top 200 as of December 2020.

Second album Dead Ringer was released in 1981 and album three, Midnight at the Lost and Found was released two years later. He went on to release nine more records and appeared in more than 50 films and TV shows before his death in 2020.

MeatLoud will be at Queen’s Hall, Narberth on Saturday, February 11 at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £18 and are available from www.queenshall.org.uk or by calling 01834 861212.
