Meat Loaf to advocate for people to be vaccinated against COVID following the singer and actor’s death.The ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ icon – real name Marvin Lee Aday – passed away last Thursday (January 20), according to a statement posted on his official Facebook page.
He was 74 years old.Reports have since emerged claiming Aday died after falling seriously ill with COVID, though a cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
It is not known whether Meat Loaf had been vaccinated against the virus.Last year the musician shared a link to Eric Clapton and Van Morrison‘s collaborative anti-lockdown song, ‘Stand And Deliver’, and said in interviews that he was opposed to government-enforced restrictions.Speaking about the late artist on his SiriusXM radio show this week, host Stern explained: “Poor Meat Loaf got sucked into some weird fucking cult.“And somehow [he] really believed that – he made a statement, ‘I’d rather die a free man than take that vaccine’.
And now he’s dead!”He continued: “I wish the family would come forward and say, ‘Ya know, when Meat Loaf was laying there in the hospital and he couldn’t breathe, he said, ‘I made a mistake.
