Singer/musician Marvin Lee Aday aka MEATLOAF
was born 74 years ago in Dallas, Texas. Yesterday
evening came the sad news that he passed away.

This statement was published 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. Daughters Pearl and Amanda
and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours. His amazing
career spanned 6 decades that saw him sell over 100 Million albums worldwide
and star in over 65 movies, including Fight Club, Focus, Rocky Horror Picture Show
and Wayne’s World.

‘Bat Out of Hell’ remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time. We know how
much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support
as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful
man. We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time. From
his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!” ”

A cause of death is not yet known.

Meat Loaf released 12 albums between 1977 and 2016. His debut Bat Out Of Hell
with its massive blockbuster hit Paradise By The Dashboard Light made him an
instant superstar. His theatrical rock swagger, his appetite for bombastic epicness,
his sturdy appearance, it all made him the worldwide legend he was/is. R.I.P.

Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over, like a bat out of hell, I’ll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
