Scott Columbus, former drummer of Manowar, passed away on April 4th. He was 54.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our brother Scott Columbus.

Scott Columbus was a rare talent and equally a rare individual.

He was a father, a friend and a brother of metal.

All of the great moments we spent together in the studio, in our homes and on the road are burnished in our hearts and memories forever.

These words are spoken with heavy hearts but we have the comfort of knowing that he is in a good place and at peace.

He will never be forgotten.

Your family and brothers,
Joey, Eric, Karl, Donnie

And all at Magic Circle Music
