Sad news, I actually love some of his power ballads which just get bigger and bigger as the song goes off, the man had a heck of a voice

[Niamh.]

Ah RIP [emoji852]

[AnnieK]

Ah that's sad news. His health hasn't been good for a while but still a shock.

RIP

[Cherie]

Aw no loved some of his songs RIP

[Nicky91]

it is amazing he even got to become 74 if you look at the list of problems regarding his health


RIP, i loved most of his songs and i will continue to love his music



on our radio channels they played ''paradise by the dashboard light'' to honour him :love:

[AnnieK]

Paradise by the Dashboard Light is my least favourite.....its been murdered by people singing karaoke and totally ruined for me

[MTVN]

My favourite Meat Loaf song. Strangely enough I don't think I'd heard any of his stuff for absolutely ages then this song just came to me randomly the other day and I started listening to it again

he was a one off and a hell of an entertainer too

[thesheriff443]

I’m absolutely gutted

An absolute true legend

Meat Loaf’s 1993 Number One single was there for 7 WEEKS back in 1993

But he first entered the UK Top 40 15 years early back in 1978, proving his longevity, scoring 17 top 40 singles between 1978-2006

RIP

A top ten single from 1981:

With Cher , who today claimed she is ‘sorry’ to his family , and then rhetorically asked if it was ‘just her’ or ‘are many people in the arts dying each day nowadays’
Yes Cher, I’m afraid to tell you your friends from the 60s are now in their 70s and 80s , the typical life expectancy in the US being 76 for males and 80 for females

[arista]

He will be missed.

[thesheriff443]

For crying out loud is an absolute masterpiece

Tragic news and of Covid. Truly great man with a belting voice . Legend.

Yes he had a voice like an Opera Singer,
Telegraph Music writer is writing a great piece on him.

He died never telling us what he wouldnt do for love :bawling:
I always assumed it was pegging, but i guess we will never know now :bawling:

Why do people always say that? There's literally a whole list in the song that he says he won't do :fist:

Here they are :

forget the way she feels right now

forgive himself if they don't go all the way that night

do it better than he does it with her

stop dreaming of her every night of his life

see that it's time to move on

be screwing around

[glib]

Covid was caused by a bat out of hell

I've just read that apparently he saw face masks as a 'nuissance' and he didn't want to be 'controlled', I wonder if he got vaccinated . He was in the at risk category as he had health issues ie asthma etc .

Such a terrible shame he had that mindset , he was a talented singer which will be a big loss .

[Meat Loaf has died aged 74 after falling
“seriously ill” with Covid, it has been reported.
The US singer passed away on Thursday night after
falling ill with the virus.
He also had a long history of asthma attacks. ]


Maybe he should have gone to a Covid Ward
in Hospital.

‘If I die, I die - I'm not going to be controlled‘ he said in an interview before his death. Apparently.

That leads me to believe he was unvaccinated

I bet if he was vaccinated he’d still be here now

Adele owes her fans quite a bit of money!

Sad news.

RIP

[LaLaLand]

Gutted. Love his music. RIP - a real rock and roll icon.

[Alf]

Was he fully vaccinated? Has that information come out?

[user104658]

Was he fully vaccinated? Has that information come out?Based on other things he said, it seems extremely unlikely. "I'm not going to be controlled" and all of that nonsense.

Any loss of a life is still sad and he was such a huge character, but it just goes to show how dangerous this uneducated rhetoric is.

He probably wasn't vaccinated .

[Denver]

He has 3 songs in the top 20 chart update and all if his albums have sold out in the UK

Any loss of a life is still sad and he was such a huge character, but it just goes to show how dangerous this uneducated rhetoric is.Some people think that it's uneducated to think that there even is a virus. Why should I believe you over them?
