After thorough reflection and discussions with Dave Mustaine and Megadeth‘s administration, we have now collectively agreed that it’s the proper transfer to increase my absence.

We want Loureiro all one of the best with no matter’s occurring together with his life… and this is hoping Megadeth retains Mäntysaari round, because the dude was actually killing it at current reveals.
