Rock superstar Meat Loaf died on Thursday at age 74, according to a family statement provided by longtime agent Michael Greene. The beloved musician is known for his "Bat Out of Hell" album and for such theatrical, dark-hearted anthems as "Paradise By the Dashboard Light," "Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad," and "I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)." A rep said on his Facebook page: "Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side. Daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends have been with him throughout the last 24 hours." No cause of death was given.
But over the years the singer, whose real name was Marvin Lee Aday, had numerous health scares. In 2003, Meat Loaf had heart surgery after he collapsed onstage at the Wembley Arena in London.

In an interview in 2013, Meat Loaf revealed that he had suffered "18 concussions" and opened up in more detail about why he believed his tour in the United Kingdom that year would be his last.
"My balance is off. I've had a knee replacement. I've got to have the other one replaced," he told U.K.'s Guardian.
Prior to having a knee replacement, the musician said was unable to walk from his bedroom to his kitchen. "They took me to the hospital in an ambulance to get my knee replaced. And when they did, it was so damaged and torn up it's going to take a year to come back,"
