Type O Negative Died With Peter Steele (Top 11 of 11)

. Type O Negative Died With Peter Steele was a top 11 story of 2011 for July. Here is the recap: (Rock News Desk) Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly says the band is finished after the death of frontman Peter Steele last year � and even if they could replace him they won't try.

Steele suffered heart failure in April 2010 as the band were preparing to make a new album. And Kelly, who's currently touring with Danzig, says the saddest part is that he'd dealt with his addiction issues just before he died.

"I was in shock � and it's still pretty unfathomable to me to think he's not here. I spent a good portion of my adult life with him; not only being in the band, but as one of my closest friends," The drummer tells Sweden's TV4. ""He was a very complex person, always a clown, always trying to make a joke, and he had no problem making jokes about himself. I'm convinced he rides with us: wherever we go, he's there with us. - more on this story
