While Meat Loaf’s cause of death has not been confirmed, TMZ reportedThat he was. “seriously ill with Covid.”The singer has also spoken out against the use of pandemic safety protocols. It’s unclear whether he was vaccinated.

Listen and Learn.”He also shared his views about the pandemics with the Pittsburgh Post-GazetteAugust “I hug people in the middle of COVID,”He said. “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.”
The interviewer then told him: “Oh, God. We’re being controlled by everybody,” Meat Loaf responded, “Yeah, I know. But not me. If I die, I die, but I’m not going to be controlled.”
During Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, the host said, “Poor Meat Loaf got sucked into some weird fucking cult. And somehow really believed that — he made a statement, ‘I’d rather die a free man than take that vaccine.’ And now he’s dead!”
Stern, who appears to believe Meat Loaf died of Covid-19 and was unvaccinated, beckoned Meat Loaf’s family to speak out about it. “I wish the family would come forward and say, ‘Ya know, when Meat Loaf was laying there in the hospital and he couldn’t breathe, he said, ‘I made a mistake. I should have taken the vaccine.’ Like all these anti-vaxxers, they all say, ‘I made a mistake.’”
Stern has been on the airwaves blasting anti-vaxxers over the past few months. He suggested last week that hospitals ban patients not vaccinated for Covid-19. He said that he was addressing the anti-vax issue. “It’s time for you to get it. Now, if you don’t get it, in my America, all hospitals would be closed to you. You’re going to go home and die. That is what you should get. Absolutely.” In December, Stern’s guest Billie Eilish shared that she believed that had she not been vaccinated when she had Covid-19, that she would have died.
