Sad, sad news.
Meatloaf/Steinman were a match made in heaven.

RIP big fella, a true performer.

RIP Meaty - I got into opera because of his vocal styling, laughable, loveable and laudable he made being a big bloke cool

Read he was a Hartlepool fan, he was going on soccer AM and didn't want to be a Man U or Liverpool fan and he did some research, he found out they hung a monkey and thought it cool.

 

[BlackpoolWolves]

Well one of them is now

They both are. Steinman died in April 2021 I believe.

Yep, unfortunately.
Steinman had a mini stable of artists that he passed songs onto. He said that he wrote a song, then decided which artist was best to sing it. Obviously Meatloaf was his big hitter, but, I’m sure a lot are aware that Bonnie Tyler was another, as well as a band called Fire Inc that did a couple of his tunes in a cult film called Streets of Fire (one of my fave films).
Maybe there were more, but I love all 3, and always think that you can easily imagine any of Steinman’s songs being sung by any of the artists.

This is Fire Inc, Meatloaf would have rocked this.
