NEW YORK, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell III premiere performance at Toronto's Elgin Theatre on November 4 sold out in just minutes today.

The quick sell-out of this one-night-only event follows on the heels of Meat Loaf's London Royal Albert Hall show (October 16), which also sold out in just a few minutes as well when it went on sale in September. Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell on Broadway" show at New York's Palace Theatre on November 2nd will go on sale this Saturday, October 7 at 9:00 am. Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com. Based on the quick sell-outs in London & Toronto, New York area fans hoping to see the show will have to act quickly. Pre-sale tickets are available now, info available at http://www.meatloaf.net/ or http://www.ticketmaster.com/.

"I was totally blown away by the immediate impact that the announcement of this performance solicited from the diehard Bat Out Of Hell fans," added Patterson about the Toronto show. "The epic new song and cinematic video have obviously struck a new chord in the hearts of his multi-generational audience and clearly demonstrate that Bat Out Of Hell continues to endure as rock's most epic adventure."

The show itself will feature music from Bat Out Of Hell I & II and, for the first time ever, live performances from the brand new album Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster is Loose, which will be released on Halloween (October 31) by Virgin/EMI Music.

The trilogy is completed with his three-act show: Act 1 featuring songs from the original 1977 album Bat Out Of Hell (including "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"), Act 2 with songs from the Grammy-winning Bat Out Of Hell 2 - Back into Hell (including "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)") and Act III featuring brand-new songs from the forthcoming Bat Out Of Hell III - The Monster is Loose, premiering live for the first time ever in Canada.

Bat Out Of Hell III - The Monster is Loose (Virgin Records Canada), which will be released on Halloween, marks the culmination of a three-decade journey for Meat Loaf. Combined, the first two Bat albums sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide, establishing Bat Out Of Hell as a true musical franchise. Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster is Loose captures the theatricality, elegance and melodicism of the first two albums, while infusing an even more diverse, dynamic approach. The first single, the Jim Steinman-penned "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," is a sweeping, stirring duet with international star Marion Raven that is as powerful as it is passionate.
