Fans will be able to pay their respects to former Damageplan/ Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott on Tuesday night during a public memorial service.
The service will take place at the Arlington Convention Center at 1200 Ballpark Way in
Tuesday's funeral for Abbott, 38 — who was slain onstage Wednesday during a Damageplan show at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio (see "Dimebag Darrell, Four Others Killed In Ohio Concert Shooting") — will be a private family affair. The Abbott family has requested that no details of the time or place of the burial be released.
Concertgoer Nathan Bray was buried on Saturday. The 23-year-old Columbus-area native was shot while attempting to perform CPR on Abbott. Club security guard Erin Halk, 29, was scheduled to be buried Monday (December 13) in Clintonville, Ohio. Funeral arrangements for Damageplan bodyguard Jeff "Mayhem" Thompson were unknown at press time.
