The NSW District Court Judge who was presiding over the trial of Guy Sebastian's former manager has died.
Judge Peter Zahra suffered a suspected stroke on Thursday, two days after the trial of Titus Day began in Sydney.
Day has pleaded not guilty to 50 counts of fraudulently embezzling $900,000 worth of royalty, performance and ambassador payments which were allegedly meant to go to Sebastian.
The trial was adjourned to Monday and when jurors returned to court they were told a new judge would be appointed.
