Vinnie Paul Laid To Rest At Private Funeral

The late Vinnie Paul Abbott (Pantera, HELLYEAH) was officially laid to rest following a private funeral yesterday (June 30). The drummer was buried at Moore Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Arlington, TX, near his late brother and bandmate Dimebag Darrell Abbott, and their late mother. Like Dimebag, he was buried in a KISS coffin. Jose Mangin (SiriusXM‘s Liquid Metal) and Nick Bowcott (ex-Grim Reaper) were among those who spoke at the service. Other attendees included: Ace Frehley (ex-KISS), David Draiman (Disturbed), Chris Jericho (Fozzy), Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt) 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.” A public memorial is being held for him at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, TX today (July 1)
