Steve Popovich was swindled out of millions, despite having paved the way for Meat Loaf's multi-million selling smash 'Bat Out of Hell.' Here's his cautionary tale.
Our collection of real-life 'Spinal Tap' stories contains some pretty wild moments, but for sheer distinctiveness, few can match the tale of the night Meat Loaf traded 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' for a bottle of urine to the face.
"There are no second acts in American lives," F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in his unfinished, posthumously published novel 'The Last Tycoon.' But Meat Loaf proved him wrong with the surprising success of 'Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell,' which was released on Sept. 14, 1993.
Meat Loaf says he's never drank his own urine, but he knows people -- famous people -- who have. The singer does cop to injecting a solution that included his urine however, but it's really not as strange as it seems.
Classic rocker Meat Loaf is preparing for knee surgery today. The 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' singer posed for this picture for his Facebook page Monday afternoon, taken just minutes before he was set to go under the knife. An unidentified poster writes that the recovery process will take about two weeks.
