Meat Loaf, whose real name was Marvin Lee Aday, died at 74 on Jan. 20.

Aday gave PEOPLE an exclusive statement at the time, saying the artist was her “world…from the day we met.”

“The grief I feel over the loss of my husband is gut-wrenching. I was lying close to Michael when he took his last breath and my sadness is beyond words. I’ve always called him by his given name because I didn’t see him as ‘Meat.’ I feel much gratitude for the outpouring of love I have received from around the world,” she said.

She added, “Our life together was an adventure. He was my best friend, my confidant, my lover and I miss him terribly already. As much as my heart is in pain right now, my heart is also so full of the love and glory we shared together. I will love you forever, Michael.”

“We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man. We thank you for understanding our need for privacy at this time. From his heart to your souls… don’t ever stop rocking!”
