TMZ is reporting that Meat Loaf died of COVID-19. And if he did . . . well, he kind of called it in one of his final interviews.
He was complaining about how long COVID restrictions have gone on and referred to an attendant on a recent flight as a "Nazi" for making everyone put on their masks.
The interviewer said, quote, "Oh, God. We're being controlled by everybody."
And Meat Loaf replied, quote, "Yeah, I know. But not me. If I die, I die, but I'm not going to be controlled."

Meanwhile, the Weber Grill company stepped in it by releasing a meatloaf recipe on Friday, just hours after news broke of Meat Loaf's death. They called it an "oversight".
