Singer and actor Meat Loaf passed away at 74.

He is survived by his wife, Deborah, and his two daughters: Pearl and Amanda.

She and Pearl rushed to Nashville to be by his bedside.

She and her sister “just sat with him and held his hand.”

She said they were “very thankful” to be with him one last time.

She said he was still joking around up until he passed.

They “plan to send a lot of invitations out to people that dad loved and respected.”
