Meat Loaf
Meat Loaf, born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947, in Dallas, Texas, was a renowned American singer and actor. Known for his powerful voice and theatrical stage presence, he became a rock icon with his Bat Out of Hell album trilogy, which sold over 100 million records worldwide. The first album, released in 1977, remained on the charts for over nine years and is one of the best-selling albums in history. Meat Loaf's collaboration with songwriter Jim Steinman produced hits like "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."
Despite facing challenges in the U.S., Meat Loaf found significant success in Europe, particularly in the UK, where he received a Brit Award in 1994. He also acted in over 50 films and television shows, with notable roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Fight Club (1999). His early stage work included performances in Hair and The Rocky Horror Show on Broadway.
Meat Loaf's career faced setbacks, including a rift with Steinman and personal struggles, but he made a comeback with Bat Out of Hell II in 1993. He passed away on January 20, 2022, in Nashville, Tennessee, leaving behind a legacy as one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
