Remembering Meatloaf’s Connection to Detroit and Motown
We found out late Thursday night that the legendary singer and actor Meatloaf died at the age of 74. We wanted to take a look back at Meatloaf’s very cool connection to the Motor City!
Here was a statement from Meatloaf’s fan page:
Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side. Daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours.
“Bat Out of Hell” remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time.
We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.
We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time.
From his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!
Meatloaf will always be remembered for his amazing music and amazing acting, but did you know he had a real connection to Detroit and the Motown scene?
Here are some of Meatloaf’s songs when he was apart of a group called Stoney and Loaf. He was in town for a play production when he met Stoney and formed the Motown group.
