The former bassist for the German heavy-metal band Metalium was killed Sunday, April 18, in the crash of his ultralight trike in Spain. The accident occurred around 10 a.m. local time in Mallorca, where Lars “Ratz” Ranzenberger, the 53-year-old musician-turned-entrepreneur, had lived for several years, according to a local news source. Photos and video show the wreckage alongside what appears to be a grass runway, identified as Vilafranca de Bonany-Es Cruce Airfield (Aerodroma Mallorca—code AG6147). The fuselage is lying on its side with the crumpled wing still attached to the wreckage.
