Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine has announced that the long-running metal band's forthcoming album and 2026 tour will be their last. The announcement, in a social post directly shared with his fans and "Cyber Army," features the band's mascot and Mustaine's "alter ego" Vic Rattlehead speaking for the first time.

Megadeth has announced the band’s final album and world tour after entertaining fans for more than 40 years. But as the group says, “Don’t be mad, don’t be sad, be happy for us all,” and get ready to rock out with them during their epic sendoff.
