Megadeth Cancels Tour Following Dave Mustaine’s Cancer Diagnosis

I’ve been diagnosed with throat cancer. It’s clearly something to be respected and faced head on – 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% success rate. Treatment has already begun.

Unfortunately, this requires that we cancel most shows this year. The 2019 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 as we get it. Megadeth will be back on the road ASAP.

Meanwhile, Kiko, David, Dirk 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.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

See you soon,
Dave Mustaine

Shitty news, but a 90% success rate is a good number and Bruce Dickinson was diagnosed with throat cancer and cured not too long ago. So, yeah, nothing is ever certain, but things look positive.

Wishing Dave a 100% recovery.

Wishing Dave all the best along with the band and family members. Gonna crank some Megadeth albums today.

Good luck, Dave!

Wow bit of a shocker!. All the best Dave.

Get well Dave.

Good luck Dave, and....

Well that is certainly some sucky news , speedy recovery Dave.
