Thrash Metal and guitar legend Dave Mustaine has announced that he has been diagnosed with throat cancer. He broke the news on Megadeth’s social media accounts today. You can read Dave’s full statement below, but he says he has engaged a team of doctors and is working on a treatment plan with “a 90% rate of success for a cure”. Megadeth has canceled all foreseeable tour dates while Dave works on recovery. The band will still work on their as yet unfinished new album, and the Megacruise will apparently still happen. We wish Dave a speedy recovery.
