Sad. I loved his music.
I cannot even pick a favorite song. I loved all of them.

I saw him many years ago (around 1995 I think) at The Gramercy Tavern.
I said look it's Meat loaf. And Greg said there's meatloaf on the menu?
I said no, look over there. It is Meat loaf.

RIP Meat loaf.

 

[Tonks]

So many people right now, it seems. I’ve got one of his songs stuck in my head since I’ve heard the news.

 

[Snowdrop13]

So sad, I grew up with his music.

 

[Mlh]

Ohh, love him. So sad to hear this.

Oh that is a shame.

 

[stracci2000]

Oh no! Sad news.

The thing I saw today: "I would do anything for love, but I won't get vaxxed".

It could have maybe been prevented but .....hmmm yeah, what a hill to die on. Loved his music though.

 

[Jambalaya]

Poor Meatloaf!

 

[seaurchin]

I don't know what to think when someone who refused to get vaxxed etc. for no medical reason dies from Covid. I do feel like a lot of it wasn't really their fault because they probably just genuinely believed many of our countries (USA) leaders. After all, everyone is not equally capable of sorting fact from fiction.

I feel like those at the top who have spread the disinformation and shaken public faith in our top medical establishments while in public office should be held accountable for the horrific results of their actions.

Not sure where this was posted but there hasn't been a confirmation about his Vax status that I can find.

How sad. I love his music.

Never thought I would find myself googling "Meat Loaf vaccine"

We are living in strange times.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

That is true but he was not someone who couldn't think for himself so I don't understand if he didn't get vaxxed. I just don't understand why. What a loss.

Comedian Louis Anderson died today too.

Oh that is so sad. I hadn't heard that. He must have been relatively young too.

Same. SMH.

We are living in strange times.

We sure are.

 

[chemgirl]

So far there’s nothing known about his vaccination status. He was vocally against mandates and some people are jumping to conclusions and assuming that means he’s unvaccinated. Maybe they’re right, but it’s sad that this is his legacy when he actually never said anything against vaccines.

Wow.

At the very least he didn't vocalize for vaccines and if he had he might have saved many people who respected him and were big fans. He didn't use his celebrity for good as I see it. If he was vaccinated why not share it with his (vulernable) fans who might have then decided to get vaccinated if they were on the fence?

At the very least, IMO, this is what he could have and should have done. Encouraged others to get vaccinated and shared his vaccine status if he was vaccinated.

We all have a responsibility to others and those who are influential have an even stronger responsibility IMO.

And again, may I remind everyone, that this pandemic would have been OVER and DONE had most people gotten vaccinated. Period. End of story. Lives saved. Heartache minimized. Instead here we are year 3 and the pandemic is still going strong. Millions dead from Covid. Millions.

The pandemic’s true death toll: millions more than official counts

Countries have reported some five million COVID-19 deaths in two years, but global excess deaths are estimated at double or even quadruple that figure.

It’s sad that he died.

But now I can’t get this out of my head. It belongs in that other thread about songs.

If you had asked very young me how I think I will feel on the day Meat Loaf dies 50 years from now, I would not have predicted that I would be sad. But I am.

I feel sad because his death was preventable.
Tragic.

 

[Tekate]

Humpf. He gave his life up for something which is non exitstent. I'd prefer he was here today and had his vaccine shots.. very sad that seemingly intelligent people refuse to live.

Sorry to be disrespectful, but with the thread title, "Meatloaf Passed Away" I expected this to be about something found in the back of a refrigerator.
