Dave revealed he was diagnosed with throat cancer in June of last year, he said he had already begun treatment. He’s back on the road now and, at a recent gig in London, addressed the crowd and outlined his treatment regimen, also confirming he is “100 percent free of cancer,” per his doctor. It wasn’t clear, however, exactly when the frontman learned of the diagnosis, which he cleared up when informing the London audience, “About a year ago, we were working on our new album back in Franklin, Tennessee, and I started to feel some pain. I went to the doctor and he said, ‘Dave, you have cancer.’ And I went, ‘Fuck! I have cancer.’ And I was so shocked.”

Mustaine continued, “At first, I thought, ‘Am I afraid?’ And then I said, ‘No. I’m fucking pissed.’ We stopped the record – we stopped everything. I went into treatment for cancer.”
Less than a year after receiving the diagnosis, Mustaine got the best news possible, telling an overjoyed London arena, “On October 16, I went to go see the doctor, and he said, ‘You’re 100 percent free of cancer.'”
