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.
It's been a rough start for Meat Loaf's UK tour. The singer postponed another show last night because of "medical reasons afflicting several members of the band." That's the fifth of eight shows he's either cancelled or postponed.
