RIP Meat Loaf.

We loved you in the The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And your music. Always on our play list

Meat Loaf, the larger-than-life singer whose bombastic rock opera "Bat Out of Hell" is one of the best-selling albums of all time, has died at age 74, according to a statement on his facebook page.

"Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side," the statement said. "Daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours."

Meat Loaf's agent confirmed his death. No cause of death was shared.

The singer, whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday, was born in Dallas.

The singer acknowledged physical problems had affected his ability to perform. But in November, he posted on Facebook that he'd had four back surgeries and would be back in the studio in the new year.

"The back surgeries hurt everything. Before the back surgeries I was still trying to do shows, that's when some of you saw or heard of me collapsing on stage and finally stopping the tour in the UK. I couldn't hit high notes because of back pain. Not a slight back pain. Pain that would bring you to your knees," he wrote.

In 2016, Meat Loaf collapsed at a concert in the Canadian city of Edmonton and was admitted to the hospital. The cause was dehydration, a spokesperson said at the time.

R.I.P Meat loaf

Sad to hear so many artists who made up the soundtrack of my life are passing now. I loved his Bat Out Of Hell album and wore out a few of those CDs. I was making travel plans once years ago and had it playing in the background and the guy on the other end said, "you're listening to Bat Out Of Hell, a personal favorite." We had a nice little conversation about it, nice to learn that others enjoy your same taste in music. May he rest in peace.

It is a sad day indeed.   He was so talented and had his own unique music.

When my brother and sister in law got married  the DJ was asked to play Paradise by the Dashboard Lights and there were about 50 of us on the floor all singing along and dancing (my brother with the garter strap on his head, but that's another story, LOL)   At one point the Dj stopped the music just before "what's it gonna be boy?"  and everyone knew every word and we kept going, then he put it back on!   Was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding, great memory.........RIP Meat Loaf.

So sad, a great entertainer. Loved his music.

I've seen him in a couple movies. No cause of death was determined; whoever said it was Covid is misleading people. He had several health problems over the years, so it could have been anything. People are just speculating until a reason is given.
