According to TMZ, Vinnie Paul Abbott (Pantera, HELLYEAH) will be buried in a KISS coffin that was provided by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. This is significant due to the fact that his late brother and Pantera bamdmate “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott was buried in the original KISS casket prototype back in 2004. A public memorial will be held for the drummer at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, TX on Sunday (July 1) at 3:33 p.m. A private funeral will take place on Saturday (June 30) and it is also scheduled to start at 3:33 p.m. He will be buried alongside his mother and brother with some of his personal items including his hat and more. Vinnie Paul passed away on June 22 at the age of 54. An official cause of a death has yet to be revealed, but early reports have suggested his death was the result of a “major heart attack.”
