It has been reported that Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is cancer free. The rocker revealed his throat cancer diagnosis back in June, and less than a year later, he is in remission. Mustaine went through 51 radiation treatments and nine chemotherapy treatments, determined to overcome the disease so he can continue to play music.

On Friday, January 31st, Mustaine told the good news to the crowd at SSE Arena in London. He explained that the diagnosis came when Megadeth was recording their new album. “At first, I thought, ‘Am I afraid?’” he said. “And then I said, ‘No. I’m f—ing pissed.’ And we stopped the record, we stopped everything.”

“I know a lot of you guys know that I pray,” he continued. “I say that in [Megadeth’s] ‘Peace Sells’. I pray every day. I say that in the song. I’ve said it since the second record. But I thought about you guys every day, too. And I thought about my family. And I got this power from you guys. And I just kept thinking about it.”

“And on October 16th, I went to go see the doctor, and he said, ‘You’re 100 percent free of cancer,'” he concluded.
