Howard Stern is calling on Meat Loaf's family to speak out on vaccines following the rock icon's death earlier this month. Meat Loaf died Jan 20. TMZ reported at the time that the singer had been "seriously ill with Covid" and that "his condition quickly became critical". It's unknown at this time whether or not Meat Loaf was vaccinated against Covid.

The singer challenged Covid mandates in an August 2021 interview with The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, saying: "I hug people in the middle of Covid. I understood stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they're stopping because of politics."
