Lanterne Rouge Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Yeah, just saw this, very sad news. A man who did so much for racial equality when it was very difficult to do so.

exAtyeoMax Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Really sad about Meatloaf. My sister had Bat out of Hell when I was about 12. I just loved it.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted January 21, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Great tribute show on R5 at the moment with Nicky Campbell. Shame the only time I saw him live was at AG when he wasn’t at his best, but what a performer over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Saw him in Adelaide when he first brought out Bat out of Hell. Entered the auditorium on a Harley Davidson through the crowd. Fantastic show. He needed oxygen a couple of times during the performance due to respiration problems which apparently was a long term condition. Hope is wasn't covid that aggravated that.

Robbored Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I saw him live at AG a few years ago. I’d heard plenty of positive comments about his live performances but the time I saw I was actually a little disappointed. Maybe I was expecting too much…………..
