Despite officially entering their “farewell era,” Dave Mustaine recently told Kerrang! that the touring cycle may extend far longer than fans might expect. According to him, this last chapter could continue for “another three to five years,” joking that by the time it ends, he’ll be hitting a birthday he would rather not think about.
