Megadeth's Dave Mustaine - Update on Medical Condition!

A few days before the Big Four concert in New York City, featuring Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. Megadeth's front-man Dave Mustaine faced the arduous decision of having to cancel his bands appearance at Yankee Stadium, after his doctor told him that he needed surgery on his neck. The reason for the surgery is that he suffers from stenosis, a neck and spine condition that Mustaine attributes to "years of headbanging". Fortunately, Dave Mustaine is a true Metal warrior and decided to perform the show.

Mustaine recently went under the knife, and his recovery is going very well. This is what he had to say about this via his Twitter account.

On a recent interview with Metal Obsession, Megadeth's skin man Shawn Drover commented: "He's recovered really well. Everything went really well and the surgery was a complete success. You know, he just needs time to heal. It takes time to heal. He needs to rest up before our South American tour in November. He really needed to have it done. He was in a lot of pain for the last several shows that we did during the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour and at the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium in New York City as well. It sucks seeing him in pain, but he's a real trooper. As soon as we were done with Yankee Stadium, we flew right back home and ran him to the doctor and got the results. Now we're really happy that he did that."
