“Friends, my heart is full with your kindness and well wishes. This is the richest part of my years with the mighty Megadeth. I’m truly excited about the 2 Dave’s getting back together. I think it will be great for Megadeth fans. Anyone who knows me, knows I love doing all kinds of things musically and other wise so I’m excited for what’s ahead and very grateful for all the great music, fantastic shows and the many friends and fans I’ve come to know over the past 4 years. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know what’s next when it’s next!”
