Dave Mustaine, Megadeth frontman, said he was recovering after his cancer diagnosis in June of that year.
In an statement on the band’s website, he said:
“I wanted to take a moment to give you all an update on the current status of my health. I’m almost through the last round of treatment and my doctors are feeling very positive regarding my progress. I want to thank all of you for the support and well wishes these last few months. I can’t express enough gratitude as it has made this hard road easier knowing you are in my corner fighting with me!”
“Over the next few weeks my condition will be evaluated, and I will keep you posted on my progress as we get closer to the sailing date of the first Megacruise! We can’t wait to see you, and I know all of the other wonderful artists feel the same way. Let’s make this event one for the record books. Less than 30 days till we are Thrashing through the Pacific!”
“See you all very soon.”
Megadeth had to cancel almost every tour date after Mustaine’s diagnosis. Meanwhile, the group revealed to be working on the successor of Dystopia (2016).
