    Even though I didn't care for his music much, it was still a surprise to see him pass away.

    He was in rough shape for a long time. Alcohol addiction and
    drug abuse. He even had some surgeries (his back?). Based on
    his size, he was probably coping with complications due to
    excess weight. The news is now reporting that he passed "of
    covid". Too bad. Probably any cold or flu wasn't going to make
    it easy for him. Infact, maybe even a mild case was hard on his
    body.

    I wasn't really drawn to the "Bat Out Of Hell" phenom. The
    female singer for it was the real star, imho.

    But Marvin had a style, a chrisma, and strong voice that worked
    in his favor.

    Although his album 'Bat outta Hell' was a mainstay for my generation, and I wore out 2 copies, if I had to hear 'Paradise by the dashboard light' one more damn time on the radio back in the day, I think I'da slashed my wrists. :-)
