#goodbye to #meatloaf #legend

It is unclear whether Meat Loaf was vaccinated - but just months before his death he declared "if I die, I die - I'm not going to be controlled" when discussing the virus.

In the same interview - published in August last year after people worldwide had endured months of draconian rules and lockdowns - Meat Loaf, who suffered from asthma, also labelled face masks a "nuisance" and said he was happy to "hug people in the middle of Covid".

"You're not afraid (of Covid)?," a reporter from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette asked the rocker.

He replied: "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."

After the interviewer said: "We're being controlled by everybody", he replied: "Yeah, I know. But not me. If I die, I die, but I'm not going to be controlled."
