Teilen
Er gab Rock-Musik Pathos: Meat Loaf, dessen Musik eine Verbindung zwischen Broadway-Spektakel und Hard Rock darstellte, ist mit 74 Jahren verstorben. Wesentlichen Anteil an seinem Erfolg hatte der Komponist, Texter und Arrangeur Jim Steinman (2021 verstorben), der die Heavy-Rock-Operetten erfand. Mit dem Meat Loafs Solo-Debüt BAT OUT OF HELL (1977) veröffentlichten die beiden eines der erfolgreichsten Alben aller Zeiten (über 43 Millionen verkaufte Einheiten). Auch wenn Meat Loaf ab und zu neue musikalische Varianten auslotete, kreuzten sich die Wege der beiden Künstler immer wieder. Und sobald sie zusammenarbeiteten, entstand Bedeutendes. So 1993 BAT OUT OF HELL II: BACK INTO HELL - ein Album das weltweit in den Charts auf Platz eins stand. Die Todesursache von Meat Loaf wurde bisher nicht bekannt gegeben.
