“They’ll sing their hits, tell unheard stories and take audiences through their career,” said event organizer RockTellz & CockTails.

Meat Loaf: “I get to have a lot of fun and it definitely shows.”

The Jacksons said they’re thrilled to be a part of a residency that has featured acts such as Celine Dion and Britney Spears.

A week before they start, Meat Loaf will return to perform under the same series as part of his second residency. His show starts February 13.

“For me, the show is more than just another concert … I’m able to bring together music, acting and theater and do things you can’t normally do when you’re on the road,” Meat Loaf said in a statement . “I get to have a lot of fun and it definitely shows.”

Meat Loaf’s hits include “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad ” and “Paradise by the Dashboard Light.”

His real name is Marvin Lee Aday.
