PETER STEELE: Official Memorial Shirt Coming In May

April 16, 2011

The official Peter Steele (TYPE O NEGATIVE) limited-edition memorial shirt (pictured below) can be pre-ordered at this location. A collaboration between Wicked Threads and Peter "Steele" Ratajczyk's family, the shirt will be available in May, as both a men's short-sleeve and ladies' tank top, via TheWickedStore.com.

For further information or to place advanced orders, e-mail [email protected].

Many have asked where the proceeds for t-shirt sales are going. The Ratajczyk family states, "Proceeds will be used to offset all legal fees and expenses related to Peter Steele Ratajczyk."

Steele passed away on April 14, 2010 from heart failure. He was 48 years old.

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.
