Imelda May to team up with Meat Loaf for duet

IRISH singer Imelda May has revealed her plans to record a duet with Meat Loaf.

Following her gig at the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco over the weekend, May explained in an interview with RTÉ TEN: "Meat Loaf said, 'Do you want to do a duet?' And I just said, 'Yes, when and where?'"

"It will be up to his end when he releases it," she said.

The 40-year-old is currently promoting her new album Tribal in the US, but she admits that her Irish fans are still a firm favourite.

“American audiences are great, as they get what I am doing, but as my band will tell you, nowhere tops the Irish audience.

“They are just brilliant. They are very open, but the Americans and Spanish come a close second.

"The Spanish and the American audiences are lunatics. They are very passionate and, like the Irish, they don't have as many inhibitions,” she continued.

"People don't know you as well at festivals like Outside Lands so you are starting from scratch again. I love a good challenge so it is kind of like what we did in Ireland and the UK years ago.

"I like getting a kick up the ass as it keeps you on your toes and I don't want to get comfortable."
