No Mark Sandman? Weird.

Heart attack seems like the way to go apparently.
ETA: Various GSW is a close 2nd.

Cathy Wayne was the stage name of Australian entertainer Catherine Anne Warnes (7 December 1949 – 20 July 1969) who was killed during the Vietnam War by United States Marine Sergeant James Wayne Killen. Wayne had just finished a song for US Marines at a Non-commissioned officer's club near Da Nang in South Vietnam. Killen was convicted of the unpremeditated murder of Wayne; at his court-martial it was alleged that he was aiming for his commanding officer, Major Roger E. Simmons. Wayne had intended to use money earned from her performances in Vietnam to revive her recording career; and to marry her fiancé, Clive Cavanagh, who was the drummer for her performance troupe, Sweethearts on Parade. Wayne was the first Australian woman killed during the Vietnam War.

On 20 July 1969, Sweethearts on Parade were performing for about 75 US Marines at a Non-commissioned officer's club 7 km (4 mi) south-east of Da Nang in South Vietnam. At about 9:15 p.m., Wayne had just finished a song and was still on stage to introduce her fellow performers when she was shot in the chest by a bullet fired by US Marine Sergeant James Wayne Killen. Wayne died almost instantly as the bullet severed her aorta.

Damn.
Also, just watched a first-hand youtube video of the Rhode Island nightclub fire. Disturbing.

Yeah I saw the The Station video many years ago, and I don't plan on watching it again anytime soon. One of the most disturbing videos I've ever seen.

So did Paul Simon. In the Dash Rip Rock song they mention something about his "cowboyed mouth" which I guess is where he shot himself. Fred LeBlanc was the drummer for Dash for a while so I've always assumed this song was the origin of Cowboy Mouth's name.

I remember seeing The Beat Farmers at The Chimes, circa 1985-86. Country Dick Montana was jumping from table to table. Awesome.

Add Keith Relf, former Yardbird, to that list.

former Ministry guitarist Mike Scaccia had a heart attack and died on stage last year in Fort Worth

Yep.. another electrocution. And Sandman, of course. Heart attack in Italy.

I believe Relf was onstage in Germany when he encountered his dose of electricity.

Relf was 33 when he died from electrocution, at his home, while playing his improperly grounded guitar. At the time, Relf was rehearsing new material for the regrouping of the original Renaissance line-up, called Illusion

"He was a rock n roll Jesus with a Cowboy Mouth!"
It's a line from a play by Sam Shepard about Johnny Ace called Cowboy Mouth. The last line of the play is "It means escape" which is also the title of one of Cowboy Mouth's albums.
