Dave Mustaine says throat cancer changed him after Megadeth farewell tour
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine discusses his throat cancer diagnosis and life changes in a new memoir while promoting his final album.
Mustaine reflects on health struggles
The musician revealed that his recent treatment for throat cancer has altered his personality. He also faces Dupuytren's contracture and severe arthritis in his hands, which makes playing guitar difficult. These physical conditions have led him to end the band he formed in 1983.
New memoir details treatment
Mustaine describes navigating a grueling course of medical treatment in his book titled In My Darkest Hour. The album released this year reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart before the group disbanded.
