Bollox, that's pure speculation. Do you honestly see Meat Loaf performing close to 70? That's why he did Bat 3, he didn't have 7 years to do it, that's how Meat saw it.

I don't think there is much fooling when Desmond's name is mentioned on the cover and he apparently seems to have more dedicated liner notes in the CD booklet than Meat himself for some bizarre reason. The majority of the cd buying population probably don't know who Steinman is.

Well that under your own speculation (he has a medical problem) would probably have meant no album and no live tour now would it...

I don't believe you and besides it's a rumour so who gives a fuck.

Bollox. Even Jim noted that Meat sounded fantastic on Bat 3.

You've posted this before. Can you please quote the page numbers as I don't believe Meat's voice was damaged at all during the period of 1984-1993 going by the albums and the live shows.

I doubt loosing his voice would have been different. Maybe this cyst has been growing for a year, who the fuck knows.

So why post what you have posted?

No you should.
