Next year will see the release of the final Megadeth studio album before Mustaine and co ride off into the sunset – and there will be a tell-all memoir coming too

Mustaine’s memoir will also arrive next year. The book will follow the 2020 oral history Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece and former lead guitarist Marty Friedman’s memoir Dreaming Japanese, released last year. Megadeth’s global farewell tour will kick off in 2026; dates have yet to be announced.

"Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years," said Dave Mustaine in a statement about Megadeth's retirement.
