Megadeth surprised fans earlier this year when they announced that their forthcoming album and tour would both be their last, although frontman Dave Mustaine admitted the farewell trek would last between 3-5 years.
In a new interview with Metal Hammer, Mustaine talked about what he wants for the band’s final show. “I hope we’ll be playing up in space,” he said. “I think that will be a really fitting climax. And I’m not talking about on the side of a vomit comet. A gig on the moon, a full moon landing, that would be cool.”
Mustaine continued: “I saw they sent up a bunch of celebrities into space and I thought ‘Well, if them, why not me?’, you know? I’m just watching how that all progresses. I know Elon Musk and Richard Branson were working on interstellar travel. I think people are going to be travelling to space a lot sooner than you think. People already travel over 40,000 feet altitude, and when you get to that kind of atmosphere you’re basically already in space. So I do think it’s going to happen. The question is, are people going to be able to inhabit the moon?”
