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.

Peter Steele 1962-2010

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.

That is very sad, and a terrible loss to the music world.

It's a tough pill to swallow. He was an artist with integrity - a rare thing in the music world at the best of times but especially in this day and age.
