Scots Meat Loaf tribute act Peat Loaf reckons star's love for fans played part in death
21.01.2022 - 19:48 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Meat Loaf gave his seal of approval to Scots tribute act Peat Loaf after meeting with him four times.
And Dallas-born Meat, who died on Thursday night, even wanted the Troon-based look and soundalike, real name Pete Rossi, to play him in a movie about his life.
Devastated Pete, who reached the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2014, believes Meat Loaf's love for his fans played a part in his death - because he relentlessly toured over the years.

"I’m just trying to get over the shock because there were no clues to it. We didn't hear he was ill. He was talking about doing five shows later in the year."
Peat met Meat backstage in Edinburgh, twice in Glasgow and once in Liverpool.
He said: "I had triple A passes and went backstage. We had conversations and he gave me a lot of advice and told me to always hold my dignity and integrity and take time.
"He said to be the best you can be and not to listen to the doubters as there are people with extreme jealousy in the world of
