He was the lead singer of one of my favourite bands, Type O Negative, and I'm so shocked to hear about him dying :(
It's kind of thrown me at the moment as he wasn't old (late forties or early fifties I think, don't know off-hand). Some reports are saying about it being heart failure, but his family are not releasing any details about his passing yet.
He even re-converted to his native Roman Catholicism before his death (as he seemed to be afraid of the nothingness that was the lot of the atheists that he was one of for many years). Poor guy, he sounded totally conflicted and depressed regarding his faith... I just wish him the peace in death that eluded him in life.
RIP, Pete. Safe journey :(
(eta... on checking out Wikipedia it said that he died on 14th April and he was 48).
