A Heaton Meat Loaf fan appears determined to keep the singer's memory alive on a local roundabout - despite council efforts to clean up the tributes.
In the wake of the American singer's death last month, drivers on the Coast Road spotted red block capital letters reading 'R.I.P. MEAT LOAF' on the bridge between Chillingham Road and Benton Road.
The message was washed away by Newcastle City Council - although other graffiti in the area remained.

But recently a new message has appeared in the same spot.
Letters in a similar red block capital style now read "I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE..." in what is almost certainly a reference to one of Meat Loaf's most famous hits.
The song, 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)', which featured the vocal talents of Lorraine Crosby, from Walker, reached number one in the charts in 28 countries and was the biggest hit of 1993 in the UK.
It can't be confirmed whether this message was left by the same Meat Loaf mourner who scrawled the first tribute, but it seems likely as the writing and letter colour are extremely similar.
Last week, a spokesperson for Newcastle City Council confirmed that the 'R.I.P' graffiti was removed following a complaint from the public.
At time of writing, the new sign was still in place on the side of the bridge - but the ellipses at the end of the quote may suggest that the unknown author might be preparing to return to finish the famous lyric if their current tribute is removed.
Nearby on the bridge, the words 'RIP Meat Loaf' have also returned, although again it's not clear whether this message comes from the same artist or a copycat Meat fan.
Meat Loaf died on January 20 at the age of 74, with his wife Deborah by his side. The cause of his death has not been confirmed, although it has been reported that he was seriously ill with Covid-19 in the days before he died.
