Megadeth man to have surgery today
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 30 July 2009
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has confirmed he will undergo surgery today to fix his injured back and neck. This treatment is seemingly designed to ensure Mustaine is fit enough to do a tour in September, with more full on surgery planned for later in the year to properly address the problem.
Mustaine blogged, not entirely literately, earlier this week: “I have been working with a very badly damaged neck, and the few lower vertebrae, right beneath my neck in between my shoulders, is damaged too. What I have currently injured, and am requiring the start of what could be a very quick and painless procedure. I would work my ass off to heal again, like I did with my arm injury, and should be back in the saddle in no time”.
He continued: “I will have to get a much more complicated procedure done, between my shoulders, after I get back from this year’s touring which will end sometime short of the Christmas holidays. I am asking for you to please send some prayers, and good thoughts my way on Thursday morning at 10.30am PST, 30 Jul”.
