The times US legendary singer Meat Loaf rocked Cardiff

Legendary American singer Meat Loaf has died at the age of 74.

A statement was released on his Facebook page on Friday, January 21 to announce his passing. Read more about it here.

While the Bat Out Of Hell star was famous for being a singer, he was also an entertainer like no other and had acting roles too, including Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dennis in SpiceWorld: The Movie and not forgetting his amazing scene-stealing turn as Robert Paulson in Fight Club.

He teamed up with Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler for the album Heaven and Hell and you can read her touching tribute here.

As a singer, he performed in Cardiff many times over the years and here we take a look back at some pictures from those memorable gigs.
