AUX.Tv has helpfully collected this list of musician murderers that begins with Varg Vikernes of the black metal Burzum who took the life of Øystein Aarseth, better known as Euronymous, in May 1994.

Vikernes and Euronymous worked together in Mayhem, a black metal band, when they got into a fight over money. Euronymous ended up with 23 stab wounds while Vikernes had 16–in the back.
