There is no "death of the music industry", but there is, or will be, a "death of the music recording industry".
the "Music industry" refers to all things having to do with making and performing music for financial gain which may include live performances and commissioned works. Musical performances and commisioned works will never cease to exist, at least in the foreseeable future. The "Music recording industry" on the other hand, is an industry which appeared in the early 20th century and functioned primarily as a music distribution system.
The Music Recording Industry appeared because the recording of music, fabrication and duplication of audio media (LPs/Records/Tapes/Compact Discs) and the transportation of this media could only be performed economically by large-scale enterprises at the time. It was simply not possible for average individuals to acquire the very large and very expensive equipment required to perform the recording, reproduction and distribution of musical works and performances.
By the turn of the 21st century, however, the equipment required to record, duplicate and distribute music became small, cheap and commonplace as a result of computerization and the emergence of the world wide web. Realizing that these new technologies had completely replaced the relevance and individual's need of the Music Recording Industry, the RIAA began a campaign of legal action in an attempt to stop, or at least slow, the prevalence of music piracy which resulted from this quantum leap in technology.
By or before the mid 21st century the Music Recording Industry will cease to exist in it's 20th century form and record companies will either vanish, or will change from being based on production and distribution to being based on promotion and advertising.
