Rock and roll. Tough life style. You can die in an airplane, in a car, from a gun, on the bottle, on the drug, and on the stage.
Mike Staccia died aged 47 performing on stage in Fort Worth, Texas, Dec 23rd 2012.
He'd co-founded thrash metallers Rigor Mortis and industrial rockers Ministry. His riffs were the driving force of Ministry's 1992 album Psalm 69, and that still upsets some church goers who fail to understand it was just a show.
An online fundraiser for Scaccia’s wife and children has been set up. More details from the Rigor Mortis Facebook page.
Here is the Psalm 69 track by Ministry filmed in 1996
