Dave Mustaine has issued the following update: "Well, I made it and day two of the procedure is almost over. I wanted to take this time to thank you for all of your support. It was necessary for me to do this so that I could continue to operate at maximum potential for us all, and the timing was right, the Doctor was right, and my mentality was prepared to have a long frikken needle stuck into my neck, just short of the brain stem. ...Meanwhile, I have had such a strenuous last few weeks. We had to finish the artwork for the record, and then there was the fiasco that went along with that."
