Meatloaf bans photographers due to 'fatness'

Legendary rocker Meatloaf has banned photographers from his UK tour - because he thinks he's too fat.

The 'Bat Out of Hell' singer, aged 60, currently weighs over 308 pounds (140 kilograms) and has becoming increasingly conscious of his excess weight.

As a result, he has taken the drastic measure of banning photographers from his three shows in Manchester, England this month.

However, his publicist says: "Meat doesn't want reviews so he's not issuing any photo passes."
