I hope paradise is as you remember it from the dashboard light, Meat Loaf. Had a fun time performing a sketch with him on Saturday Live way back in the last century - https://t.co/RxoH36OYHw

… he had the quality of being simultaneously frightening and cuddly, which is rare and rather wonderful …

R.I.P Meatloaf. Love and prayers to all his family and close friends. He once turned me upside down in a Chinese Restaurant in St Johns Wood.

RIP Meat Loaf. Always a brilliant albeit terrifying interview. In 2016, I remember vividly how he had this silver dragon-headed cane, which he liked to wave around and bash on the floor for dramatic measure as he delivered the best quotes. What a legend. https://t.co/PsliY5U8Xy

One of rock music’s all-time great characters whose seminal iconic album Bat Out Of Hell is one of the biggest-selling records in history.

Sad to hear about the death of Meat Loaf - a mark of the man was that when he had to cancel a gig in Newcastle one time, he let #nufc fans fire penalties at him by way of an apology.
This man had a name… His name was Meat Loaf. pic.twitter.com/q0WelZ9zVE— Joel Goldman 🏆 (@mightyscoop) January 21, 2022
Oh man. As someone who grew up with no interest in the conventional idea of the rockstar, Meat Loaf was the embodiment of the only type of rockstar I could appreciate.
Rest in peace.https://t.co/CGZSl9OeEu— Matthew Rosenberg (@AshcanPress) January 21, 2022
Meat Loaf was an absolute one off and Bat Out Of Hell is a straight 10 out of 10 album. The title track is an always will be my impossibly long karaoke choice. (Also, Fight Club). RIP Meat x pic.twitter.com/ztp1jR47Jb
