Following the star-studded Taylor Hawkins tribute concert last year, talk of similar honorary shows has escalated, with both bands and fans interested in paying their respects to other fallen musicians. While conversations surrounding a Eddie Van Halen tribute have been more substantial, such an event for the late Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele - who passed away in 2010 - has been more of a hypothetical idea.
The band's co-founder and former guitarist Kenny Hickey is adamant that the show just "wouldn't work", and is wary of it being seen as a "cash-grab". But despite his concerns, this hasn't stopped him from musing over which musicians he believes would be interested in taking part in the project, and who he would recruit for the most important role; singing in place of Steele.
