Brace yourselves – Clinton will prove his mystical ability once and for all. This time, he guarantees you WILL believe!*

Featuring Peter Young as Meat Loaf.

While singing in Spain, Peter delivered a captivating performance of Meat Loaf's iconic songs "2 out of 3" and "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth." A gentleman from the audience suggested that Peter should assemble a Tribute Show to Meat Loaf. Taking this advice to heart, Peter has risen to become one of the premier tributes to the rock legend. After perfecting his performances in Cyprus from 2008 to 2012, he has now firmly established himself in the UK and Europe as one of the most sought-after artists, known for his striking resemblance and sound-alike persona.

In addition to gaining recognition as a top solo act, Peter has portrayed Meat Loaf in the highly popular theatre production "ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME TRUE." Over the past 7 years, he has been a part of the live theatre show "ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME TRUE" and, more recently, has performed with his own band, 'All Revved Up.' Renowned for infusing passion and emotion into his performances, Peter authentically captures the essence of the stories told in Jim Steinman's lyrically rich songs.
