Megadeth have been forced to cancel their upcoming shows, including their appearance at Motörhead’s Motörboat, due to medical reasons.
The band issued the following statement:
“Due to complications arising from a previous cervical spine surgery, and upon his doctor’s strict recommendations, Dave Mustaine has cancelled all performances for the next 8 weeks. With rest and treatment, he is expected to recover and resume performing soon. The band was looking forward to the concerts and cruise, and is disappointed that they will not be able to see their fans. Megadeth expects to return to the road and will see their fans soon!”
Since the band won’t be on the Motörboat, they have been replaced with a Metal Allegiance All-Star Band. The musicians featured in this band will be vocalists, Philip Anselmo (Down, ex-Pantera), Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), and Chuck Billy (Testament), guitarists, Chris Broderick (Megadeth), Jon Donais (Anthrax, Shadows Fall), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Mark Zavon (Kill Devil Hill), bassists, Frank Bello (Anthrax), Rex Brown (Kill Devil Hill, ex-Pantera) and David Ellefson (Megadeth), and drummers, Charlie Benante (Anthrax) and Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater).
So, if you are going on the Motörboat this will be a must see performance.
