ROCK singer Meat Loaf has tragically died age 74.
Born Michael Lee Aday, Meat Loaf had a stellar career spanning six decades after shooting to fame with his powerful, wide-ranging voice.
The rock veteran was among the most popular musicians of all time, selling millions of albums around the world.
His Bat Out Of Hell album trilogy - famous for its operatic rock style and the hit single of the same name - was his most popular release.
US news outlet TMZ is reporting that Meat Loaf died from Covid-19 after falling ill earlier this week, although their claims have not yet been confirmed by his family or representatives.

Without Meatloaf, the world would have never known that there ain’t no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

More burlesque than operatic, where even the exaggerations become exaggerated.
To: lee martell

operatic style? wtf dey taking about? pure pop The songs alone. Bat Out of Hell the album, like other "operatic rock" albums like The Wall, 2112, Tommy, etc was a story. It was actually inspired by the musical Neverland.

I had many of his songs on my playlist. He wasn’t about shouting incoherent words in his songs, he told stories. Since his passing, I have been watching his videos with a new appreciation for a very talented man. He will be missed.

Some articles say his real first name was Melvin and some Michael. Ditto internet searches. Whichever it is...RIP Meatloaf.
To: Guenevere
Absolutely. He sang it straight, and really nailed it.
To: dadfly
Could depend upon how many serious co-morbidities he had.

He was born Marvin, but had it changed to Michael. But he ALWAYS had "meat" in his name. Interesting story here:
