The end is near: Megadeth to release final album and embark on farewell tour
'There's so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,' Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine shared in a statement Thursday. '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.'
Mustaine and the band have yet to reveal the final album's title, release date or the band's remaining tour dates.
His statement continued, with the frontman writing that now is the perfect time for the band to release a final album and embark on their final tour.
'Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years. We have done something together that's truly wonderful and will probably never happen again,' he wrote. 'We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it's played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.'
The statement arrived after the band shared a teaser post on Wednesday that read 'The end is near…'
Megadeth was founded in 1983 after Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica, a band he co-founded. Megadeth released their debut album in 1985, 'Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good!'

Terence Stamp, British actor who portrayed General Zod in early Superman films, dies at 87
LONDON (AP) — Terence Stamp, the British actor who often played the role of a complex villain, including that of General Zod in the early Superman films, has died. He was 87. His death on Sunday was disclosed in a death notice published online. The London-born Stamp started his film career with 1962's seafaring 'Billy Budd,' for which he earned an Oscar nomination. Stamp's six decades in the business were peppered with highlights, including his touching portrayal of the transsexual Bernadette in 1994's 'The Adventure of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.' Stamp also was widely praised for his lead in director Steven Soderbergh's 1999 crime drama 'The Limey.' But it will be his portrayal of the bearded Zod in 1978's 'Superman' and its sequel 'Superman II' two years later that most people associate with Stamp. As the Kryptonian arch enemy to Christopher Reeve's Man of Steel, Stamp introduced a darker and charming — more human — element to the franchise, one that's been replicated in countless superhero movies ever since.
