Rock legend Meat Loaf was “seriously ill” with COVID-19 just days before his death Thursday, according to a report.

Sources told TMZ that the 74-year-old “Bat Out of Hell” star was due to attend a business dinner earlier this week for a show he is working on based on his classic hit, “I’d Do Anything for Love.”

But he canceled because he was seriously ill with COVID-19, with his condition soon becoming critical, the outlet’s sources said.

The singer and actor, real name Michael Lee Aday, had been outspoken about COVID, specifically railing against vaccine mandates, the outlet said.
