In another shot heard around the Metal world, it was officially announced that Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine has been dignosed with throat cancer.\u00a0 Megadave posted this from the band’s official Facebook page:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been diagnosed with throat cancer. It\u2019s clearly something to be respected and faced head on – but I\u2019ve faced obstacles before. I\u2019m working closely with my doctors, and we\u2019ve mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90% success rate. Treatment has already begun. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately, this requires that we cancel most shows this year. The 2019 <\/strong>Megacruise will happen, and the band will be a part of it in some form. All up to date information will be at megadeth.com<\/a> as we get it. Megadeth will be back on the road ASAP.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kiko, David, Dirk and I are in the studio, working on the follow up to Dystopia \u2013 which I can\u2019t wait for everyone to hear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so thankful for my whole team \u2013 family, doctors, band members, trainers, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep everyone posted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

See you soon,<\/strong>
\nDave Mustaine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing but the best of wishes from the Great Southern Brainfart and the entire community goes out to Dave and his family.\u00a0 If there’s anything we know about Dave it’s that he’s a fighter.\u00a0 Much love and respect to you Dave and yes, we WILL see you soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
