Meat Loaf, the singer and actor whose debut album Bat Out of Hell in 1977 became one of the best-selling of all time, has died at the age of 74.
“Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side,” his family said in a statement. “Daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours.” The cause of death was unclear.
Born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947, the rock musician’s career spanned six decades across the music and film industries. He was beloved by fans and soared to unlikely rock stardom with theatrical, dark-hearted anthems and an iconic long-haired look.
He was also known for the song “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” and for playing Eddie in the cult film Rocky Horror Picture Show, with his show-stopping song “Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul).”
“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,” the post continued. “From his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!
Fat, disgusting, greasy, sweaty pig..good rock voice though.
