Glancing over the minor ones, these stood out to me.

Following the release of what Meat Loaf claimed was the best album yet

I think Meat claimed CHSIB was his "most perfect album since Bat", but can't find a source besides Wikipedia.

‘The Bases Are Loaded Tour’ was to prove all people that Meat Loaf was not past it but instead within his best before date.

To the best of my knowledge, it was never claimed that the "The Bases Are Loaded" tour should prove Meat was not past it.

Making his only 2006 UK show at London’s Royal Albert Hall, looked to be the best review since his Bat Out Of Hell II Tour back in 1993.

Unless you have read any and all reviews of all shows he did, I doubt this is true.

For Bat Out Of Hell III, he joined forces with old-time songwriter who wrote the first two Bat albums; Jim Steinman.

As said before, clearly not the case.

Desmond Child joined forces to produce the album after Steinman took a back seat due to having quite a few heart attacks and strokes.

Child didn't join forces with anyone: he produced the album on his own. Steinman did not take the back seat: he was not involved at all, as he declined a offer that would make him the best paid producer in Rock History (or so we're told), and only gave permission to use Pig and Cry To Heaven in the lawsuit-settlement.
And please, define "quite a few" and source that claim.


And for a persuasive essay, this is the ultimate cop-out:

All in all, there is only one correct answer to this issue of whether Meat Loaf is past his sell-by date or not. The answer to it, is your own.

Unless I'm mistaken what it means to write a persuasive essay, I'd say that when you ask "Is Meat Loaf Past His Sell-By Date?", you should make a case whether or not he is past it based on the available "evidence" and "facts", and reach a conclusive yes-or-no answer in the end.

But then again, I'm not a teacher.
