This article is about the singer. For the prepared food dish, see Meatloaf.

Michael Lee Aday (born September 27, 1947 – January 20, 2022), better known by his stage name Meat Loaf, is a rock musician and actor. Aday was born in Texas. He is among the top-selling musicians of all time, even more popular in Europe than in the United States. Several of his popular songs have conservative themes.

He is rare among rock stars in sometimes publicly supporting Republican candidates for president, as he did in 2012. Many other rock stars are conservative or support Republican candidates, but rarely as publicly as Meat Loaf has.

His Bat Out of Hell album earned him a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo. He is famous for his Bat Out of Hell trilogy albums. Meat Loaf selflessly gave unusually prominent credit to his songwriter Jim Steinman high on the Bat Out of Hell album cover,^[1] which is ranked as the third greatest of all-time.^[2]

Aday starred in many movies in television shows and films either as himself or someone resembling his stage persona, and appeared as a contestant on Donald Trump's The Celebrity Apprentice. Other notable appearances were Eddie in the American premiere of the stage production of Rocky Horror Show as well as the film adaptation, Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Like Eric Clapton and others, Meat Loaf was critical of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, a stance that the liberal media criticized without addressing whether patients have had access to prophylactic and early treatment for the disease (many have not).^[3]

Early life[edit]

He was the first child of Wilma Artie, a teacher, and Orvis Wesley Aday, an alcoholic police officer. Because of his parents going around bars, he would often stay with his grandmother Charlsee Norrod. In 1965, Aday graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. He went to Lubbock Christian College, then transferred to the University of North Texas. After his mother's death, he received an inheritance and isolated himself in an apartment in Dallas for over three years, before moving to California.
