Meat Loaf had been working on a TV show and new music as recently less than two months before it was announced that he had died.

The singer's Facebook page reported his death on Thursday, without specifying a cause. He was 74.

The star appeared to be planning a full work schedule only recently. He had been working on a four-song EP with new music.

And on November 29, a post on his Facebook page said: "Hoping the TV show will start up in March," after planned filming in the preceding months.

He was working on a relationship competition reality TV show named after his hit single "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)."

He was an executive producer for the show, and described it as "a relationship show and a rock concert." It is not clear when the show was due to air, or whether any filming did indeed take place.

His November Facebook post, the last one he shared before his death, Meat Loaf also said that he was making videos for fans on Cameo.

The platform lets people pay to receive personalized videos from celebrities.

Meat Loaf, whose real name was Michael Lee Aday, wrote: "YES KIDS IT'S TRUE....I am back on Cameo for all of December and till January the 3rd."

He continued: "So come on to Cameo and book something for you, a great Friend, or anyone in your Family. Love You, God Bless, Be Well, and most of all Stay Safe. Meat."

He sold more than 100 million albums, including the best-selling "Bat out of Hell," and was an actor in films like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
