“There’s so many musicians that have come to the end of their
career, whether accidental or intentional,” Megadeth founder and
frontman Dave Mustaine shared in a statement Thursday. “Most of
them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s
where I’m at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and
have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of
all of this is saying goodbye to them.”
Mustaine and the band have yet to reveal the final album’s
title, release date or the band’s remaining tour dates.
His statement continued, with the frontman writing that now is
the perfect time for the band to release a final album and
embark on their final tour.
“Don’t be mad, don’t be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate
with me these next few years. We have done something together
that’s truly wonderful and will probably never happen again,” he
wrote. “We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we
changed the guitar world and how it’s played, and we changed the
world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love
you all for it. Thank you for everything.”
The statement arrived after the band shared a teaser post on
Wednesday that read “The end is near…”
Megadeth was founded in 1983 after Mustaine was kicked out of
Metallica, a band he co-founded. Megadeth released their debut
album in 1985, “Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!”
