Metal Hammer U.K. has contacted TYPE O NEGATIVE's management, who were eager to clarify the situation leading to Wednesday night's events.
The management representative's official statement reads as follows:
"[Wednesday] night Peter [Steele, bass/vocals] got off of the bus not able to breathe properly due to the mold in the back lounge. He went straight to hotel. When the runner arrived to pick him up, I was told that he had to get someone to go up to room with him and that Peter was semi-conscious. He was having severe breathing problems. He managed to get to the venue - and was on time - but upon his arrival and seeing his condition, I immediately asked for the paramedics to attend to him. The paramedic administered oxygen and were concerned enough that there was discussion of bringing a doctor onsite. They also called for two other paramedics to consult, which resulted in more delay of stage time.
"Towards the end of set, Peter took his normal break but was still feeling very bad and the break went longer than usual. The bottle thrown at the end is a regular thing that Peter does, it was tossed gently to a fan in the crowd and not done or meant with any malintent or malice towards the audience."
Hmmmmm... whaT do you think about that explaination?
On the couple of occasions that he actually did sing I'd say if he had breathing problems he wouldn't have been able to do it cos when he sang he was spot on and really good. and not only that but why not just say that if that was the case? Not only that but being on Oxygen makes your voice hoarse. I'm more inclined to say this is a cover up story to avoid refunding people to be honest. If it were the truth surely someone would have said so on the night to avoid the nasty atmosphere we experienced.
