On the band’s website, an exciting message from Mustaine explains the decision: “There are so many musicians who have come to the end of their career, both accidentally and intentionally. Most of them cannot go out at the height, and that’s where I am in my life now. I traveled for the world and I got millions and millions of fans, and the most difficult part of this is saying that it is fine.”
“We have done many friends over the years and we hope to see you all on our tour all over the world. Don’t get angry, don’t be sad, be happy for all of us, come and celebrate with me in the coming years. Together, we did something truly wonderful that probably will never happen again,” he wrote.
Mustaine also said that Megadeth “started a musical style and started a revolution”. “We changed the world of guitar and how the world is touched and changed. The bands I played have influenced the world. I love you everything for this. Thanks for everything.”
The group was trained in 1983 after the guitarist was fired from Metallica, a band of which he was one of the founders. In addition to Mustaine, Megadeth is currently composed of bassist James Lomenzo, guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari and drummer Dirk Verbeuren. The band has sold over 50 million records, as well as performing all over the world, including dozens in Brazil.
