It’s a sad day in the music world as former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza. His passing came when he had a heart attack while he was on stage performing with his band OHM at the Baked Potato in Los Angeles, California. It truly is a beautiful tragedy as he passed on to the other side doing what he loved most. Condolences to his family and friend, peep after the jump for more on the story.
Menza, 52, is most notably famous for his role as the drummer of classic death metal band Megadeth. He played on the band for nearly a decade before leaving in 1998. The death came as a shock to family member and friends. His Biographer and friend Marshall Craig had this to say.
“He just spent nearly two weeks with the boys in the Pacific Northwest and was absolutely glowing,”
“He was scheduled to fly to my home in Cape Cod tomorrow so that we could finish the comic book version of the book we wrote on his life, MenzaLife, both of which are slated for release late next month.”
I’m sure the book will be an instant classic. Again, Condolences to his family and may his legacy forever continue to live on.
