Meat Loaf has responded after fans criticised his performance at the Broadlands Festival in Kent last weekend.

A review of the festival, which also saw sets from Boyzone and Katie Melua, claims that some fans left the concert before Meat Loaf had finished.

Other fans have left comments which attack the quality of Meat Loaf's vocal performance during his show.

A spokesperson for the star, David Cox, told the BBC that there were “no problems” with the sound and that the singer “does not drink".

Mr Cox also added that meat Loaf had been receiving “vocal training” since he was diagnosed with acute laryngitis last year.

"Meat Loaf put on the kind of fantastic show fans have come to expect," he added.
