Howard Stern is urging Meat Loaf’s family to speak out about COVID-19 vaccines. The "Bat Out of Hell" rocker, born Marvin Lee Aday, died on Jan.
20 at age 74. While no cause or other details were given, Meat Loaf had numerous health scares over the years. The shock jock pointed out that the singer was opposed to masking and vaccine mandates. "Poor Meat Loaf got sucked into some weird f---ing cult," the 68-year-old said on his SiriusXM radio show, as quoted by Page Six on Wednesday.

"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.’" Reps for the late star didn’t immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
