Meatloaf will complete the 'Bet Out Of Hell' trilogy this autumn, when he releases The Monster is Loose.

The first two records in the series came out in 1977 and 1993 respectively, and have sold over 45 million copies globally.

The final instalment is produced by Desmond Child, and includes collaborations with Brian May and Meatloaf's old songwriter Jim Steinman.

The singer will showcase the new work in numerous live gigs, which include a three-act show at the Royal Albert Hall in October.
