Meat Loaf (September 27, 1947 – January 20, 2022) began his musical career in 1968 when he formed his first band in Los Angeles. After gaining regional success, Meat Loaf ventured into on-stage musicals, including "The Rocky Horror Show" in 1973. Two years later, he starred as Eddie in the film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." In 1977, Meat Loaf released his debut album "Bat Out of Hell." With over 40 million copies sold worldwide, it remains one of the best-selling albums in history. "Bat Out of Hell" was also the first in a trilogy that included 1993's "Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell," his first and only album to peak at Number One on the Billboard 200 chart, and 2006's "Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose." In total, Meat Loaf released twelve studio albums during his career, with 10 charting in the top 100 in the United States. While he announced a thirteenth album in 2021, Meat Loaf unexpectedly passed away on January 20, 2022 before recording had begun.
