A Symphony for Dissolution: Megadeth Announces Final Album and Farewell Tour
American thrash metal legends Megadeth have revealed that their upcoming album will be their last. The band also plans to embark on a farewell tour in 2026.
“There are so many musicians who have reached the end of their careers, whether by accident or by choice,” Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine said in a statement Thursday.
Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine performs in concert at Resurrection Fest Estrella Galicia 2024 on June 29, 2024 in Viveiro, Spain.
James LoMenzo, Dave Mustaine, and Teemu Mäntysaari of American thrash metal band Megadeth perform during the ‘Destroy All Enemies’ Tour at the Toyota Music Factory in August 2024.
“Most of them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s where I’m at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them.”
