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.
