TYPE O NEGATIVE keyboardist Josh Silver has confirmed to BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the band's frontman, Peter Steele, passed away yesterday (Wednesday, April 14) at the age of 48. No official cause of death has yet been released, but it is believed that Steele died of heart failure.
Mistress Juliya (a.k.a. Juliya Chernetsky) of Fuse TV broke the news on her Twitter page last night, stating that she spoke to TYPE O NEGATIVE guitarist Kenny Hickey just before midnight New York time, and that Kenny confirmed that the rumors were true.
Back in 2005, many people were shocked when they logged on to the TYPE O NEGATIVE web site and saw a gravestone with the words "[P]eter Steele - 1962 - 2005 .... Free At Last" carved on it. According to Epinions.com, there were rumors at the time that Steele was sick (with anything from cancer to AIDS), was on his deathbed, attempted suicide ... and the list goes on. Needless to say, it turned out that Steele was very much alive and the gravestone was merely a joke, albeit one the wasn't viewed as being in particularly good taste.
Steele was born Petrus T. Ratajczyk on January 4, 1962 in Brooklyn, New York. He stood 6' 7" (201 cm) tall, and had a low, bass-heavy voice, which was one of the most recognizable features in TYPE O NEGATIVE's music.
Before forming TYPE O NEGATIVE, Steele played for the metal group FALLOUT and the thrash band CARNIVORE.

Man, this sucks big time. I remember when they did this joke 5 years ago, and I hope it's the same now. Though I don't see why they would do this again. |

Sortiment, my thread was posted simultaneously (even first) so I'm not spreading anything  .
Still no confirmation about Steele's death, apart from the statements of band members (who are humoristically equally challenged as him )? |

It was just on the news here so I don't think it's a joke.
R.I.P sir. |

The two biggest metal mags in Germany had it as rumors earlier today but in the latest updates they say the death has been confirmed. I hoped it was just a joke like 5 years ago
RIP, Pete! |

It is not a rumor. The news is true. The band and Peter's family are releasing a statement this afternoon. I've been diligently trying to get up to date information as I have to do my radio show at 2 PM Eastern time.
Truly a sad day. I wish it wasn't true. I will be doing a little tribute today as well on the show. I got a couple of funny moments I'll share on air.
Thanks for all of the great music I got the chance to hear from Fallout to Type O Negative and plenty of memmories from the classic Carnivore shows and Type O Negative. Truly a legend.
R.I.P. Peter Steele |

The label has already released a statement:
Germany's SPV/Steamhammer Records has released the following statement:
It's with great sadness that we give our condolences to the family and friends of Peter Steele. He died on April 14th, 2010.
"With his bands CARNIVORE and TYPE O NEGATIVE he achieved cult status and was loved by fans around the world. The last releases he did with TYPE O NEGATIVE were the DVD 'Symphony For The Devil' and the studio album 'Dead Again'.
"SPV/Steamhammer proudly released both products worldwide, which will now — very unfortunately — be the end of his recording legacy.
"The world has lost a charismatic frontman and a very talented person.
"Our condolences go to Peter's family, friends and the members of his bands."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A Mod or the OP should change the topic to a straight up RIP.
As I listen to "Dead Again" right now I think of when I first heard this when it came out and thought "Holy shit, these guys are rockin' the fuck out again," and I was looking forward to hearing where they were going to go. I'll watch the Type O DVD later I think too, its a lot of fun...
Okay, now for the sake of irony, because as sad as it is this is kind of funny and this is the only day you can do it:
Dead Again |

I didn't realise that he was so tall 
And it is also quite sad. Even for those not huge fans of the music, he was very influential in the genre. |

Remembering Peter Steele the good the bad and well... Yeah, we've all seen it:
Peter Steele / Type O Negative
About an 11 inch dick and very thick!! But he doesn't like to use rubbers and says he doesn't like groupies, yet will use them when he gets a chance. Sort of weird as well, plus he looks like a steel worker from Iowa!
