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.

Operatic? Nope, just fun. Something today’s singers are incapable of.
Same here.
i’m sorry for your loss. the CCP should burn in hell for it.
i’d have to see a lot more numbers quoting early deaths (4-5 days or less before i’d change my assessment).

Your loss. I liked several of his songs. I hope God welcomes another soul and doesn’t judge on you music decisions. Doubt it was CovMagic.
This was April 2020 when everything was chaos…..maybe unusual now.

“i’d have to see a lot more numbers quoting early deaths (4-5 days or less before i’d change my assessment).”
The Daily Mail is notorious for getting facts wrong, names wrong, dates wrong, every fact wrong but it is still my go to source to find out what is happening in the US
Absolutely operatic rock. His songs- the Steinman ones at least- far surpass mere pop, or even rock. They tell entire stories in grand style. Bat Out of Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, I Would Do Anything for Love etc.
His final grandiose sone was actually called “Going All the Way Is Just the Start- A Song in Six Movements.”
He and Steinman were an incredible pairing that made amazing art.
I doubt it.
I prefer Puccini
So what other illness did he have?
heart disease? obese, aged, did he have drinking problem ? drugs?
Just wondering...
So typical to blame COVID for every death...really sad..
They may get a lot wrong but they get great pics. I don’t trust the US media either.

Carreras is superior
Fact is, the pop culture icons of our youth who made it past age 27 are going to be dying off at an accelerating rate.
I never liked any of his songs at that age, I’m sure he had more going on than just covid
dreck
sigh. dying of sars cov 2 IS ITSELF UNUSUAL even elderly with comorbidities plus the hospital cdc death protocol that’s in the range of 15%.
early treatment (ivermectin, zinc, etc.) reduces even that now drastically.
Wow! Sorry for the loss.
