Meat Loaf Stage Worn & Owned Purple Satin Shirt.
Meat Loaf, known for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows, was nothing if not flamboyant, and this purple satin shirt absolutely reflects that. With wide sleeves, two-button cuffs, and a vee-neck embellished with lacing, this purle satin shirt is as magnificent as the performer himself (well, almost!).
This satin shirt comes from the collection of renowned booking agent and promotional agent Irwin Pate, During his very long career, Irwin and his wife Clarine obtained a large collection of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers. When traveling on concert tours Irwin often would obtain many of these articles from both tour crew members and venue staff, and some items he obtained directly from the celebrity. Among the vast number of entertainers that he came in contact with, worked with, and knew was Meat Loaf. Irwin worked with Meat Loaf on several occasions, and during one of their meetings Irwin told Meat Loaf about his and Clarine's collection. Meat Loaf later arranged for Irwin to be gifted some of his personal items, including this stage worn purple satin shirt.
Size: Large.
Condition: Very good.
Authentication: Letter from Irwin Pate's widow Clarine Pate on their company letterhead and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
