On November 29, 2021, Meat Loaf — who, according to Celebrity Net Worth, changed his first name to Michael in 1984 — briefly mentioned that he was back on Cameo on Facebook. The musician also said that he was going to start recording in January, and was “hoping [his] TV show [would] start up in March.” Unfortunately, the singer died on Friday January 21 at the age of 74 after becoming “seriously ill” with COVID (via The Sun).
Meat Loaf’s last post showed that he was hopeful for the future, which is heartbreaking. Even in his Facebook post from November 22, the musician said, “On or about January 4th, we are in the studio. Playing live, rehearsing live, recording all basic tracks on a 24-track analog recorder (old school). Once all tracks, some overdubs and my vocals are (almost done), we will transfer everything to a 48-track digital machine. Then finish the album,” expressing his excitement towards working on new music.
He also mentioned that he would be “doing shows everywhere … They will be as good as always … Just different and, who knows, maybe better” in the same the post. His final social media posts show just how much he was looking forward to performing for his fans once again.
