Meat Loaf, the prolific singer and actor who died Thursday night, was remembered Friday by friends from across the worlds of music, art and even politics as a grand talent and a kind, gentle soul.
The “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” singer also sang the national anthem at the MLB All-Star Game in 1994. He acted in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and “Fight Club.”
“I don’t keep pictures from films around home. But I have this one in my office in a frame bc it makes me smile every time,” actor Edward Norton tweeted Friday, including a picture of himself and Meat Loaf embracing in character in “Fight Club.” “It’s engraved ‘Love and Hugs, Meat’ it sums him up well. He was so funny. And gentle. And warm to everyone. A sweet soul. RIP Meat Loaf.”
