Meat Loaf recorded album in closets and on buses

The 64-year-old Meat Loaf's latest record 'Hell in a Handbasket' was recorded in closets and on buses and is partly inspired by his dissatisfaction with the world in general but Meat Loaf promises his fans that it still has a "Hollywood ending".

Speaking on 'BBC Breakfast', he said: "It's a very personal album. For the last five or six years one thing I've been constantly saying is 'The world is gone to hell in a handbasket'. And we were on the road touring and I said I wanted to start this record so we started recording backstage, in hotel rooms, in closets ,on buses, wherever we could. It's very raw and it deals with the truth, with humanity and compassion which I think we've lost.
