Rds1983 Posted January 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2022 Absolutely loved Meatloaf growing up and am glad I got to see him live a while back. Don't really care about most celebrity deaths but this one (like Terry Pratchett) has hit home. I want a hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 RIP to a unique performer. Him and Jim Steinman had a fractious relationship but their songs are their legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted January 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2022 By all accounts he was a really nice bloke who was game for anything, so even if I wouldn't say I was a fan (in that I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to his work - I wouldn't actively avoid it either) I can appreciate he wasn't a hateful clearing in the woods high on his own farts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidolon Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Meatloaf has a bit of a strange reputation down in this part of the world. He performed at half time during the 2011 AFL grand final (think Australian Super Bowl kinda) and it was notoriously awful. The AFL CEO of the time called booking him ‘the single worst mistake of my career’ honestly it’s always given me a bit of a soft spot for him and I’m sad to hear of his passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidolon Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Iconic French fashion designer Thierry Mugler, dead at 73 probably not one a huuuuge amount of people on here will be aware of but a very influential designer, especially in the drag scene where he pretty much defined modern drag fashion. Has a lot of love in the trans community because he was using transwomen as models in his shows as earlier as the 1980’s which was a reeeeally big step.

I'm more than aware of the ridiculous ads for his wares at Christmas (along with all the other perfume-pretentious ads) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even said he didn't care if he died from it. He was also a Trump supporting, climate change denier. Will try to separate his songs from his beliefs.
