Sadly, on This Day in Metal in 2016 Nick Menza passed away. Menza was performing with his band OHM at a small Los Angeles jazz club, the Baked Potato when during the band's third song he collapsed on stage after suffering a heart attack. He was only 51 years old.
At the time of his death Marty Friedman, former Megadeth guitarist, wrote on Facebook:
“We all know the great and unique drummer that Nick Menza was, but he was also a trustworthy friend, a hilarious bandmate, as well as a very loving dad. I’m beyond sad, did not see this coming at all. RIP Brother.”
Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine later described Menza as "a great friend, a true professional and a larger-than-life personality."
Menza recorded drums on four of Megadeth's albums: Rust in Peace (1990), Countdown to Extinction(1992), Youthanasia (1994), and Cryptic Writings (1997).
There's currently a documentary about his life called " This Was My Life: The Story of Nick Menza" that is scheduled to be released in late 2023.
