Week 97 – January 21st – MeatLoaf RIP

This morning it was sad to hear that MeatLoaf has passed away. Great showman and I regularly uses his music for work outs.

Meat Loaf’s best-known album, the bombastic Bat Out Of Hell, remains one of the best-selling releases of all time.

The star sold 100 million albums worldwide in total and also appeared in movies like Fight Club, the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Wayne’s World.

He was also known for hits like I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) and Dead Ringer For Love.

The Dallas-born singer was born Marvin Lee Aday but also known as Michael, and got his nickname when his dad said he looked as red as meat at birth, before a high school football coach added the “loaf”.

As well as the Bat Out Of Hell trilogy, he released a string of other albums in the late 1970s and 1980s, most notably Dead Ringer and Midnight at the Lost and Found.

RIP
