He’s being remembered today by entertainers and fans. Fans including … Mitt Romney. Many may have forgotten the moment that Romney and Meat Loaf performed together in a one-of-a-kind rendition of “America the Beautiful” during Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign:
One of my weirdest/most memorable experiences from covering the 2012 presidential election was watching Meat Loaf join Mitt Romney in an impromptu performance of "America the Beautiful" at a campaign event. RIP. https://t.co/hn3ugGav54

But that memory will always hold a special place in Mitt Romney’s heart. The GOP senator paid tribute to Meat Loaf earlier today:
Heartache—but with warm memories—with news of Meat Loaf’s passing. A man of gentle kindness, generous spirit and exceptional talent. The unique quality of his music will stand the test of time. Like many who knew him, I will miss his friendship. https://t.co/fqdCm1RcAM

Who had Mitt Romney eulogizing Meatloaf on their Bingo card? https://t.co/tcsXrxNUQN

An odd couple? Maybe on a surface level. But these two men clearly had a genuine respect for one another.
Ok. Some plot twists are good. Forgot that could happen. Will miss Meat Loaf too. https://t.co/DWj6BgzVDt
