“I miss him,” says Johnny Kelly. “But in a lot of ways, it feels like he never left. He’s still part of the conversation. His name always comes up.
I’m glad that I’m still connected to him in that way, but 10 years ago, I never would have thought that people would remember Type O Negative.”Back home near Dallas, where he moved several years ago, Kelly is remembering Peter Steele -- his friend and bandmate in Brooklyn-bred goth metal quartet Type O Negative -- who died April 14, 2010, from an aortic aneurysm at the age of 48.“It’s odd to try to articulate because he passed away,” continues Kelly. “It’s like the lasting impression, and still being in a band, still playing and constantly running into people that are [Type O] fans.”Born Petrus.
