heavy metal guitarist has died after collapsing on stage at a gig to celebrate his band mate's 50th birthday.
Mike Scaccia, 47, was playing with Rigor Mortis at the Rail Club in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday night when he stunned the crowd by collapsing.
The musician - who also plays with another heavy metal group Ministry - was celebrating lead singer Bruce Corbitt's birthday when he suffered the heart attack caused by heart disease
Earlier reports suggested Scaccia died from a seizure after asking for strobe lights in the club to be turned off during his performance.
A statement posted by Corbitt on his Facebook page said: 'My brother is gone! The only reason I am who I am is because of this man.
'If it wasn't for him I wouldn't even be in a band. RIP Mike Scaccia! The greatest guitar player I ever knew!'
Scaccia was born in 1965 in Babylon, New York, and formed Rigor Mortis in 1983.
The Texas-based group, who are credited as pioneers of thrash metal, added Corbitt five years later and released their self-titled debut album, having landed a major record deal with Capitol.
Scaccia left the band in 1991 and joined Ministry. He recorded the group's platinum-selling album Psalm 69 the following year before leaving in 1996.

I'm not familiar with this group, or the artist that died, but this is tragic. What a way to go, in front of your fans. I do pray for his family, his friends and his band. I'm sure it's a shock and a loss in itself. Thank you for posting this and letting us know. Daniel.
