Yhdysvaltalaisen thrash metal -legenda Megadethin kitaristi-laulaja Dave Mustaine on pohtinut tuoreessa The SDR Show:n haastattelussa omaa tulevaisuuttaan mitä tulee uusien albumin tekemiseen yhtyeen kanssa. Mustaine on haastattelussa laskenut teoreettista aikajanaa yhtyeen tuleville albumille ja pohtinut ilmeisesti julkaisevansa vielä ainakin kolme albumia yhtyeen kanssa. Mustaine pohti omaa elämäänsä sekä Megadethin tulevaisuutta haastattelussa seuraavasti:

 ”I was talking about that the other day. If it takes two years between an album — let’s just say it does, if I’m able to put them out fast — it’ll probably be three years, but let’s just say it’s two years. And I put an album out. We’ve still got about a year left on this one [2022’s ’The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!’], at least. So that’ll take us into ’25. We’ve got all kinds of anniversary tours that we are planning right now. ’Rust In Peace’ is gonna be 25 years old, I think, or 30 years old next year, and all kinds of shit like that. And then if we get ready to go into the studio, let’s just say it takes a year to do that. That’s ’26. Another two years, that’s ’27, ’28. And then we go back into the studio. Again, we do two more records. I’ll be 70 by the time ’31 comes around now.”

”Now, do I think I’ll be able to continue making music? Because of the advancement of modern medicine right now — stuff like medbeds,” apparently referencing the conspiracy theory that secret beds exist that can miraculously heal humans and extend life, ”and all of the crazy new developments that they’ve made for people with different chronic illnesses, me with chronic pain and with the cancer… It’s in remission. I don’t act like, ’Oh, poor me.’ ’Cause it’s not ’poor me’, man. I won. I fucking won. I beat cancer, and I’m gonna keep fighting to keep it outside the door. Say I do three records, and that’s nine years. It’s gonna be a while from now. I’m realistically thinking, what kind of shape am I gonna be in in my 70s? And I’ve gotta tell you, I feel really good right now. I’m still rolling and still training and still doing my cardio and eating well, hardly drinking at all and just taking really good care of myself. So I think, unless something really wrong happens, I see myself living till I’m in my 80s or maybe 90s, if I’m lucky.”
