Биография
Early Life
Michael Lee Aday, known professionally as Meat Loaf, was born on September 27, 1947, in Dallas, Texas. He was the son of Wilma Artie, a schoolteacher and gospel singer, and Orvis Wesley Aday, a former police officer. His unusual nickname originated from a childhood incident where a football coach referred to him as "Meat Loaf" due to his size. Growing up, Meat Loaf faced challenges, including a tumultuous family life marked by his father's struggles with alcoholism. Despite these difficulties, he found solace in music and was heavily influenced by his mother's musical background.
Career
Meat Loaf's musical journey began in Los Angeles, where he formed his first band, Meat Loaf Soul, in 1968. His early career included performances in the musical "Hair" and collaborations with Motown. However, it was the release of his iconic album "Bat Out of Hell" in 1977 that catapulted him to fame, selling over 100 million copies worldwide. This album, along with its sequels, solidified his status as one of the best-selling artists in music history. Meat Loaf was known for his powerful voice and theatrical performances, which captivated audiences and earned him numerous accolades, including a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance.
Personal Life
In 1979, Meat Loaf married Leslie G. Edmonds, with whom he had two children, including Amanda Aday, who later became an actress. The couple divorced in 2001, but Meat Loaf remained active in his children's lives, coaching their sports teams. He lived in various locations, including Connecticut and California, and was known for his support of local sports teams, including Hartlepool United F.C. Despite facing health challenges, including asthma and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome, Meat Loaf continued to perform and record music until his passing on January 20, 2022.
