Is time finally catching up with Meatloaf?
Updated 01:14am on 4 Aug 2008
For more than three decades he has entertained music fans around the world with his energetic live shows.
But 60-year-old Meatloaf is starting to show signs of fatigue as he struggles to maintain the physical demands that putting his all into concerts entails.
During a performance at The British Motor Show at London's The Excel Centre on Saturday, he looked exhausted as he ran around the vast stage.
Weary: Meatloaf struggles to maintain his high energy performance
Blasting his way through hits including Bat Out of Hell, the portly singer appeared less agile than in his glory days in the late 1970s.
Earlier this year Bat Out of Hell was voted the number one driving anthem in a survey of more than 2,000 motorists.
However, the song was unlikely to awaken the speed demons as the poll, by Saga Motor Insurance, found drivers who listened to blues numbers were most likely to be caught speeding.

While the effort was clearly there Meatloaf has clearly lost the ability to hit all the notes in his songs. His voice was drowned out by the backing singers and solo intro's were at times painful to watch, often having to be helped out by the crowd singing along.
