   Hello Erich B.!

   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.
