Anthrax guitarist, Scott Ian, took to Instagram to pay tribute to his father-in-law, rock singer/actor, Meat Loaf, who passed on Thursday (January 20) at the age of 74.
Says Scott: "There are so many stories to tell, and I know they will all be told over time. For now, what I know is that Meat’s legacy will live on through his family - Pearl, Amanda and Revel. Their forever love for their father/grandfather (Papa Meat) outweighs the heaviness of their hearts. Thank you to everyone for the outpouring of love, we feel it. I love you Meat."
The sad news of the passing of Meat Loaf (real name Marvin Lee Aday) 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.
"His amazing career spanned 6 decades that saw him sell over 100 Million albums worldwide and star in over 65 movies, including Fight Club, Focus, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Wayne’s World.
"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!"
