Definitely had a unique voice and style. I discovered him through Rocky Horror and always appreciated how he seemed to make exactly the kind of music he wanted and didn’t care what anyone thought or what was popular at the time.

Everyone do yourself a favour and take 10 minutes out of your day to do nothing but listen to Bat out of Hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7ES7ueI7p0

I always thought he was best known for "I would do anything for love", but seeing that Bat out of Hell is just shy of being a top 20 all time selling album in the US, I can see I might be wrong on that assumption.

Textbook frequency illusion.

I just rewatched "Fight Club" a few days ago and was thinking "I just saw a movie with him recently!"

His story about meeting JFK in Dallas is epic.

In an April '21 Interview he more or less prefigured his death:

"After he [Jim Steinman] died, his nurse, Mary Beth, left me a message saying how much he loved me. She said I was the one person he needed more than anyone else in his life. I don’t want to die, but I may die this year because of Jim. I’m always with him and he’s right here with me now. I’ve always been with Jim and Jim has always been with me."

Source is probably some 'trust me bro'-channel on telegram.

If there is no official information, then any kind of speculation has to be taken as intentional poison these days.

In fascinating times we live...

TMZ says they have sources confirming it but it’s TMZ, so grain of salt.
