Mustaine went on to say that if there was ever a perfect time for the band to release an album, it’s now. Megadeth’s 17th and final album, first since 2022, is still awaiting a release date. Signing off, the musician gives a salute to everyone in and around the band’s history.

"Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years," said Dave Mustaine in a statement about Megadeth's retirement.
