Megadeth Announces Final Album & Tour With a Message to Fans: ‘Don’t Be Mad, Don’t Be Sad’

"For over four decades, I've been chained in silence, but the end demands my voice," Vic Rattlehead begins in his video announcement.

Megadeth is saying farewell. After 16 albums, the band’s frontman, Dave Mustaine, announced on Thursday (Aug. 14) that their next project will be their last, with a goodbye tour to support it. The news came in the form of a video posted to the band’s YouTube page and social media accounts, featuring Mustaine’s alter ego, Vic Rattlehead breaking the news.

“For over four decades, I’ve been chained in silence, but the end demands my voice,” Vic begins while seated behind a desk. “It is confirmed: The next Megadeth studio album will be the last. Forty years of metal, forged in steel, ending in fire. And when the new year rises, the global farewell tour. You’ve heard the warning. Now prepare yourself, Cyber Army. Stay loud, stay tuned, and meet me on the frontlines.”
