‘If I die, I die’ – Meat Loaf said he’d ‘rather die’ than be controlled by COVID restrictions
Meat Loaf was “scared to death of Covid” but declared that he would not be “controlled” by the lethal virus.
While the Grammy-winning musician’s official cause of death has yet to be determined, TMZ said Friday that the “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” singer had to postpone a business dinner earlier this week after getting “seriously ill with COVID.”
It’s unknown if Meat Loaf got vaccinated, but only months before his death, he said of the virus, “if I die, I die – I’m not going to be controlled.”
The rock musician said about coronavirus to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Oh, I’m scared to death! You kidding me? But I’m sorry, I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they’re stopping because of politics.
“And on CNN last night, it finally came out that the masks we’re all wearing are useless. But I’ve known that for six months. They don’t do anything. They don’t stop you from getting Covid. They’re just a nuisance and make your nose itch and make it so you can’t breathe.”
He also expressed his displeasure with an airline “Nazi” who advised him to fly with his mask on, stating, “They’re power-mad now.”

“Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side,” the singer’s Facebook page said.
“Daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours.
“His amazing career spanned 6 decades that saw him sell over 100 Million albums worldwide and star in over 65 movies, including “Fight Club”, “Focus”, “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Wayne’s World.”
“Bat Out of Hell” remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time.
“We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time. From his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!”
“We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.”
With his debut rock album, Bat Out of Hell, released in 1977, the artist, born Michael Lee Aday, earned international fame. The rocker became one of the best-selling performers of all time after releasing a trilogy of albums known as the Bat Out of Hell trilogy.
