Dave Mustaine is thinking about the last time he will ever step foot onstage as the frontman of Megadeth. “I hope we’ll be playing up in space,” he says. “I think that will be a fitting climax.”
It’s a funny idea, like something Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk would come up with if he was the leader of metal band. Hammer smiles and chuckles at the suggestion. But Dave remains stony-faced. Oh. He’s actually serious. He fixes us with a stare. We’re not smiling anymore.
