It's not the first time Peter Steele has been rumored to have passed away, but this time it looks like it's not a joke. According to Mistress Juliya from FUSE TV (remember Uranium?), Peter died of heart failure today (last night technically, seeing as how it's 1:05 AM CT time).
This is fucking sad, next to Trent Reznor, Steele was one of favorite vocalists. I'm not the type of fan that is going to care about the music in this case, I feel horrible for his bandmates, other friends and especially his family. I'm hoping this is all an elaborate joke to "unveil" the new TON album like last time, but something says this is real. I'm really just heart broken right now, it's a strange feeling to have when someone dies that you have no personal connection to.
I would link you to the article on Blabbermouth, but it's currently down, probably due to traffic. If you do a google search you should find a story about it. It's slowly hitting Twitter.

Here is the statement they issued Thursday afternoon: It is with great sadness that we inform you that Type O Negative frontman and bassist, Peter Steele passed away last night of what appears to be heart failure.

in the late 90's they were on point. i think the last show i saw was maybe 2005? something like that - it wasnt so hot.
they kept leaving the stage and they had signs prompting the audience to either boo or cheer in the breaks. the whole show was over in less than an hour and a half - and probably a half hour was spent on these breaks and the actual intermission. not exactly a high energy show or one with any sort of flow / rhythm. very disjointed. and his voice sounded shot. he was also really skinny and looked unhealthy...
