Dave Mustaine: Megadeth cancel shows as frontman, 57, reveals throat cancer diagnosis


Dave Mustaine, 57, shared a statement on the official Megadeth website, saying he had been diagnosed with throat cancer and had a treatment plan in place. “It’s clearly something to be respected and faced head on,” he wrote. “But I’ve faced obstacles before. I’m working closely with my doctors, and we’ve mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90 per cent success rate,” he continued.

The guitarist said he had already begun treatment for the throat cancer.

He went on to say Megadeth were cancelling “most” of their upcoming shows.

“The 2019 Megacruise will happen, and the band will be a part of it in some form,” he said, directing fans to the website for up to date information.

“Megadeth will be back on the road ASAP,” he added.

“Meanwhile, Kiko [Loureiro], David [Ellefson], Dirk [Verbeuren] and I are in the studio, working on the follow up to Dystopia – which I can’t wait for everyone to hear.

“I’m so thankful for my whole team – family, doctors, band members, trainers, and more,” he said. “I’ll keep everyone posted.”

Currently, Megadeth’s website lists only two live appearances this year, the band having cancelled their summer tour.

The site still lists Rock in rio and the Megacruise 2019 under upcoming live gigs.
