The band will release one final album and embark on one last tour in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The announcement was made in a video released on the band\u2019s YouTube channel, where Mustaine\u2019s \u201calter ego\u201d, Vic Rattlehead, and longtime band mascot spoke for the first time. Mustaine, 63, himself also released a statement with a bit a reflection on the band\u2019s 42-year history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThere\u2019s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,\u201d the musician says. \u201cMost of them don\u2019t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that\u2019s where I\u2019m 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Mustaine went on to say that if there was ever a perfect time for the band to release an album, it\u2019s now. Megadeth\u2019s 17th and final album, first since 2022, is still awaiting a release date. Signing off, the musician gives a salute to everyone in and around the band\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe have done something together that\u2019s truly wonderful and will probably never happen again,\u201d he concludes. \u201cWe started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b>Related coverage:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Our journalism needs your support.
