You’ll likely have seen this one in the news already this morning, but one of the best known names in the rock music industry has ed away aged 74. Meat Loaf… do I need to really tell you? I mean, come on – Bat Out of Hell. How many people get to record and release something as enormous as that?
In addition, he took a turn at acting and popped up in works as diverse as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fight Club.
A full statement appears on his facebook page.
As always, our thoughts are with his family, friends and fellow musicians. And we choose to celebrate his life with a sample of the music he gifted us with and which will live on forever. No prizes for guessing which song (though there are a ton to choose from).
