He lost the weight, looked pretty normal in his final years.

I have seen him recently but my image of Meat Loaf was that he was not the vision of health.

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..


Yes.

It may have been Covid related but given his age, not so old but in conjunction with his weight history, it would be sad, but no one would bat an eye.

They don’t know if it was because of Covid. He had just about every comorbility and heart disease and died with Covid.

Wish I knew how amazing he was when he was still alive...

You may, if you have cancer. (AND if you are not given treatments that work, until you’re so sick that it’s too late).

Or that objects in the rear view mirror are much larger than they appear.

Thank you

Courteous lucidity in a sea of the usual empathyless scold here

It’s disgusting how rude and nasty so many here are over anything they can be

Honestly.....at ,east Meat didn’t die from skydiving or mountain climbing.....they’d really have a go at it

If one were to poke around a little online, Youtube in particular, one could learn a lot about Meatloaf.

He was nothing like what most of the ignorant, lazy freepers posting nasty things are saying.

He didn't drink or use drugs.

From his earlier weight problem, he had type II diabetes.

He was more of a straight arrow type of guy than most of us.

Loaf had well-documented serious health issues long before he died. COVID may have been the last straw, but it is disingenuous to claim he died from COVID.

Truly - he seemed like an amazing person. I’ve mentioned this on the forum before but the drummer you see in that video (and has been his drummer since I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)) is John - John goes to my church, and John’s wife teaches Sunday School. Fantastic people. Amazing talent.

I enjoyed his storytelling.

One of my favorite movie entrances is his Travis Redfish entrance in the 1980 movie “Roadie”. I’m not a huge silly movie fan but I liked that one.
