Come September 2027, retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookshop, Target, Walmart, and more will have the new memoir from Megadeth<\/strong>‘s Dave<\/strong>Mustaine<\/strong> as he details his battle with cancer back in 2019.<\/p>\n

The official description found on the publisher’s webstore, DeCapo Press, reads as:<\/p>\n

“From King of Metal Dave<\/strong>Mustaine<\/strong>, a powerful reflection on the harsh truths and raw realizations that can only come from confronting death.<\/p>\n

Dave<\/strong>Mustaine<\/strong> is no stranger to pain and suffering. He battled demons all his life\u2014including an alcoholic father, addiction, and black magic\u2014and turned fifty-eight believing he\u2019d survived the worst. But in 2019, Mustaine<\/strong> was forced to face the loss of his instantly recognizable voice and the disintegration of his musical talent. Diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma at the back of his tongue, his entire career\u2014and possibly his life\u2014was about to end.<\/p>\n

“For Mustaine<\/strong>, it was one more opportunity to fight like hell.<\/p>\n

“In My Darkest Hour<\/em> takes readers from the treatment room to the studio as Mustaine<\/strong> chronicles how his diagnosis inspired him to take up the pen and guitar pick, going from radiation and chemotherapy appointments straight into hours-long recording sessions, resulting in Megadeth<\/strong>\u2019s sixteenth studio album, The Sick, The Dying\u2026and the Dead!<\/em> Along the way, Mustaine<\/strong> details how confronting his own mortality brought him closer to his family, taught him how to ask for help, strengthened his faith, and challenged the vulnerability of his art.<\/p>\n

“Filled with perseverance, hope, and the determination to never let the bastards grind you down, In My Darkest Hour<\/em> is a masterful portrait of a Dave Mustaine<\/strong> that the world has yet to see, and serves as a moving reminder that even our most invincible heroes are human.”<\/p>\n

Preorders are available for the book already ahead of Megadeth’s farewell shows.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
