Same as the majority of singers that currently infest the airwaves write their own songs.

I wouldn't.

What with? Some giant statue of him on the stage? Or a gigantic bat with Meats head that flies over the audience?
Also, would Meat have been successful without those songs? With all successful shows, it's the writer who gets the renown. Sure, a lot of people form fan clubs to lead singers, but it's usually the writers show. Not the singers.
The name will certainly be tossed around at press releases and articles but I doubt a new release with his vocals would help the show along. Abba didn't get back together with the successful Mamma Mia either.
