\nIt’s being reported that late PANTERA drummer Vinnie Paul is going to be laid to rest in a KISS casket, identical to that of his late bandmate and brother, Dimebag… courtesy of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.
\n
\nSays TMZ: “Sources close to Vinnie’s family tell TMZ that the recently deceased musician and Pantera co-founder will be buried in a custom KISS casket provided by Simmons and co. We’re told the casket was offered as a gift at Vinnie’s family’s request. His brother, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott was buried in the original prototype in 2004 after his untimely death.
\n
\n“Vinnie will also be buried in some of his clothes – including his hat, shoes and flannel… among other items. We’re told Vinnie will be put into the ground Saturday at the same cemetery in Arlington, TX, where Darrell and his mom lie.”
\n
\nThe official Pantera Facebook page has announced A Public Celebration Of Life event for Vinnie Paul.
