In a recent interview with Turkey's Apaçık Radyo, MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine opened up about the band's plans for the coming months.

He revealed that they have an announcement set to drop in July that will be 'so fucking massive' it's out of this world.

Mustaine also discussed his battle with cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2019 and has been in remission since early 2020.

Despite undergoing 51 radiation treatments and nine chemotherapy sessions, Mustaine is now working hard to protect his teeth from the side effects of his treatment.

The guitarist/vocalist talked about how cancer changed him and his family, and how it affected their relationship with creativity.

He will be releasing a new book titled 'In My Darkest Hour' on September 8, 2026 via Grand Central Publishing's Da Capo imprint.

The book was co-written by The New York Times journalist Joe Layden, who previously worked with Mustaine on his autobiography and on original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's memoir.

'In My Darkest Hour' is described as Dave Mustaine at his most revealing, vulnerable, and true.

Mustaine has been open about his cancer battle in the past, including sharing details of his treatment and its impact on his life with Metal Hammer magazine last year.
