FROM JEFF WAGNER: Written by Jeff Wagner, and in his own words, "The authorized biography of Peter Steele will be a comprehensive investigation of his life and music, supported by those who knew him best, written by a fan, for the fans."If you're a fan, have recollections of meeting Peter, have photos, tattoos, or anything, PLEASE pm the group. This is a total labor of love and one that his followers will hopefully find an indispensable part of the Type O continuum.
We've gotten a few questions about who is authorizing Peter's biography.
While the book contains interviews from friends, family, band mates and yes, even a few ex-girlfriends... authorization can only be done by the person Peter left in charge of his estate.
We assure you, this book is authorized by those closest to him, and will contain a wide assortment of reflections from those who knew him best.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
