Ongoing History Daily: Onstage deaths, part 3

For the last couple of posts, we’ve been looking at performers who died while onstage. Our list picks up with Deven Clifford. He was the drummer for the indie band You Say Party! We Say Die! On April 16, 2010, he stopped playing and hit the floor stone dead. The band dropped the “We Say Die” part of their name after that.

Guitarist Mike Saccaia who played with industrial bands like Ministry and Rigor Mortis, collapsed and died of a heart attack onstage in 2012.

Four of the five members of a Romanian metalcore band called Goodbye to Gravity died when their pyro set off a fire in the club where they were playing.

And former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza was playing with his band OHM when he suffered a fatal heart attack.

Am I done? Not yet. More next time.
