Meat Loaf called the experience "very weird" and held his head in his hands.
The musician's daughter Amanda Aday spoke out about her father's death, and revealed his health declined "more rapidly than expected".
He died on January 20, 2022, at the age of 74, surrounded by his loved ones. His daughter didn't confirm reports he died after contracting Covid-19.
She told People magazine: "As soon as we could, we just went to his bedside at the hospital and just sat with him and held his hand."
Aday was "very thankful" she and her sister, Pearl, had the chance to see their father before he died, and she revealed some of his closest friends had also flown in to see him one final time, and they were all rewarded with moments of "sweet and funny" confessions from the veteran rocker.
She said: "My dad, as far as our tour family, that's what we call it ... He's the boss, but we're a family ...
"He flipped a couple of us off, which is very dad, very appropriate," she admits. "That's a good sign. He's there. He's joking."
