Meat Loaf tributes pour in as fans remember ‘rare and rather wonderful’ showman, ‘rebellious chameleon’

Entertainers around the world paid tribute to rock star Meat Loaf on Friday after his family announced his death, hailing him as a “legend,” a “tremendous talent” and a “softie.”

“What a tremendous talent gone way too soon,” tweeted country singer Travis Tritt. “He was also one of the nicest people anyone could ever want to know. This world is a little less bright without him in it. #RIPMeat”
