Dallas, Texas, USA:
Michael Lee Aday (27. September 1947 – 20. Januar 2022) (Größe 6 Fuß), besser bekannt als Meat Loaf, war ein US-amerikanischer Sänger und Schauspieler. Er war bekannt für seine kraftvolle, weitreichende Stimme und seine theatralischen Live-Shows. Seine Bat Out of Hell-Trilogie – Bat Out of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell und Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose – hat weltweit mehr als 65 Millionen Alben verkauft. Mehr als vier Jahrzehnte nach seiner Veröffentlichung verkauft sich das erste Album immer noch schätzungsweise 200.000 Mal pro Jahr und hielt sich über neun Jahre in den Charts, was es zu einem der meistverkauften Alben der Geschichte macht. Nach dem kommerziellen Erfolg von Bat Out of Hell und Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell und dem Gewinn eines Grammy Award für die beste Solo-Rock-Gesangsdarbietung für den Song „I'd Do Anything for Love“ hatte Meat Loaf dennoch einige Schwierigkeiten Aufbau einer festen Karriere in den Vereinigten Staaten. Dies hinderte ihn jedoch nicht daran, mit weltweit über 80 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern zu einem der meistverkauften Musikkünstler aller Zeiten zu werden. Der Schlüssel zu diesem Erfolg lag darin, dass er seinen ikonischen Status und seine Popularität in Europa, insbesondere im Vereinigten Königreich, beibehielt, wo er 1994 den Brit Award für das meistverkaufte Album und die meistverkaufte Single erhielt, 1997 im Film Spice World auftrat und in dieser Nummer den 23. Platz belegte Anzahl der Wochen, die er ab 2006 in den britischen Charts verbracht hat. In der VH1-Liste „100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock“ belegt er den 96. Platz. Aday trat in über 50 Filmen und Fernsehsendungen auf, manchmal als er selbst oder als Charaktere, die seiner Bühnenpersönlichkeit ähneln. Zu seinen Filmrollen gehören Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) und Bob Paulson in Fight Club (1999). Zu seinen frühen Bühnenauftritten gehörten Doppelrollen in der ursprünglichen Broadway-Besetzung von „The Rocky Horror Show“ und er trat auch im Musical „Hair“ auf, sowohl am Broadway als auch außerhalb.
