Nick Menza, Former Megadeth Drummer, Dies At 51 After Collapsing On Stage

Nick Menza, former drummer for the metal band Megadeth, died late Saturday after collapsing on stage during a concert with his new band Ohm, CNN reported. He was 51.

Ohm manager Steve Bauer told CNN that the band was playing the third song of a set at the Baked Potato club in Studio City, California, when he collapsed. Paramedics were unable to revive him.

"The group's bassist texted me last night after it happened," Bauer told CNN. "We are all still in shock."

The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

This is so sad. I totally remember him from his Rust in peace days. What a shocking and sad way to go. RIP!

That's exactly what I was thinking. The era of Megadeth he was part of was the band's best era in my opinion. Sad news. RIP Nick Menza.

So he basically died right there on stage? That's terrible. I don't mean to sound sick, but is there video of this though?

So tired of this year killing off great musicians. 2016 has done in more legends that Jason Voorhees has horny campers!
