The release that mentioned Meat said either as a performer or presenter. I think it is most appropriate that he present Jim. Don't want to speculate but can't help but wonder if...

I wonder will Steinman be well enough to attend?

either way it's a well deserved honour

but i hope he can be arsed to show up

I want them drop a bombshell that they've secretly been planning another album together, then have Jim jump on the piano and the two of them perform What Part of My Body Hurts the Most for the luckiest audience in the world

I think seeing physical proof that Jim isn't dead will be enough WOW for me, though

Jim Steinman is Not Dead. He is in Limbo!!!!

He was said to be OK after he cancelled his appearance at Amherst. I do think the Dream Engine was the last time he was reportedly seen in public. I doubt he will play anything. I was hoping he might tell Meat he can have the music track of "Body" that Dream Engine supposedly recorded to add vocals to for the next album. If it exists Jim probably "executive produced" it. As it stands now it is going to waste gathering dust and Jim seems not to care if it gets released or not.

The event is tomorrow night. I wonder if Meat is in New York yet?

“I can never repay him,” Meatloaf said, as his voice broke and tears filled his eyes.

:') I wanna see that speech
