R.I.P. Peter Steele

I was hoping it was a hoax but it looks as if Peter Steele, lead singer of Type O Negative has passed away from the cardiac issues he's dealt with for several years.

This totally ruins my day. I was just thinking two days ago that it seemed like time for a new album from them. Just yesterday I was having a private laugh at a funny quote I remembered Mr. Steele making many years ago. They were one of my favorite bands and he was one of my favorite singers. I got to see them live on two occasions and I'm grateful for that. But I still can't believe it's over.

I am so depressed right now I just want to go home and cry.

Like I told Elizabeth, it feels like I've lost a family member who was always there for me and never got to say goodbye. His music has helped me through so much over the years it's not even funny.

I feel the same way. Type O Negative was such a huge musical influence through high school and college for me. We will never forget you, Peter.
