Dimebag Darrel (20.08.1966 - 08.12.2004)
On December 8, 2004, Damageplan was in the midst of the Devastation Across The Nation tour,[25] where the band performed at the Alrosa Villa, a large nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. A crowd of approximately 250 had watched four support acts (two local bands entitled Volume Dealer and 12 Gauge,[26] and the tour support Shadows Fall and The Haunted). Moments into Damageplan's set, 25-year-old former Marine Nathan Gale jumped onto the stage, drew his 9mm Beretta M9 and shot Darrell in the head five times, killing him instantly.
