Another musician down. 2016 is looking to be a scary year for celebrities.

No. 2016 isn't a scary.. bad..whatever year for any type of celebrity and I'm sick of hearing it anytime some celebrity dies. It just takes away from "them" and feeds into some weird stupid pointless celebrity death conspiracy. For the most part they have all been over 50 so is anyone really surprised that old people die and humans are not immortal yet?

Maybe due to technology we're more involved with celebrities than ever before but every year the older ones will begin to pass. It'll happen next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. They are people. Sometimes they have drug problems, freak accidents, or just simply age like everyone else.

55 million people die a year. Some of them are going to have to be celebrities......

/rant.

On the other hand I do not know or listen to his band but condolences apart from the media hype of "omg another one gone".

Band name fixed

And yeah, it's a shame to hear about Nick. He was a good drummer. Unfortunately when I saw Megadeth live in Anchorage Shawn Drover had already replaced him and Jimmy DeGrasso. Still, it would've been nice to catch him live one time.
