Meat Loaf certainly requires no introduction, he burst onto the world music stage in
1977 with his landmark release Bat Out Of Hell, which transformed him from a stage
actor into a rock ‘n’ roll icon. This album has sold more than 43 million copies
worldwide and is the third biggest selling record of all time, selling in excess of
200,000 copies a year! Significantly, it is still the number one selling international
album in Australia with 1,610,000 copies sold and has been awarded 23 x Platinum
status.

Following Bat Out Of Hell came such masterpieces as 1981’s Dead Ringer, 1984’s
Bad Attitude, and the Bat Out Of Hell sequels, 1993’s Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into
Hell and 2006’s Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose, not to mention 2010’s
Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Ahead of his 2011 Australian & New Zealand tour dates,
Meat Loaf is preparing for the release of his brand new album, Hell In A
Handbasket, due in October.

Prior to the commencement of his Guilty Pleasure national tour, the AFL and Carlton
Draught are pleased to announce Meat Loaf will be the headline special guest
performer at the 2011 Toyota AFL Grand Final on Saturday October 1st at the MCG.
