Rock legend and actor, Meat Loaf (real name Marvin Lee Aday), passed away on January 20 at the age of 74, and according to Mediaite, American radio personality, Howard Stern, is adding Meat Loaf to his list of anti-vaxxers he’s not pleased with.

“Poor Meat Loaf got sucked into some weird fucking cult,” Stern said on the latest edition of his SiriusXM radio show. “And somehow really believed that - he made a statement, ‘I’d rather die a free man than take that vaccine.’ And now he’s dead!”

Stern then called on his family to come out in support of vaccines following the singer’s death. “I wish the family would come forward and say, ‘Ya know, when Meat Loaf was laying there in the hospital and he couldn’t breathe, he said, ‘I made a mistake. I should have taken the vaccine.’ Like all these anti-vaxxers, they all say, ‘I made a mistake.'”

The news of the passing of Meat Loaf was shared via the official Meat Loaf Facebook page.

The message states: "Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight surrounded by his wife Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends.
