Mustaine, 64, revealed that he suffers from Dupuytren’s contracture, a painful condition that causes fingers to bend toward the palm of the hand. There is no cure for the condition that will eventually progress to a point that could make guitar playing difficult, if not impossible.
The rock legend explained that there is a surgery to slow down the progression of the condition, but that he didn’t want to risk not being able to properly say goodbye to fans.
"If I wait until my hands are causing a problem and I try it and it doesn't work, well then I've toured everywhere, I've said farewell everybody and am not leaving stuff unsaid or unfinished,” Mustaine explained.

My hands are really hurting.' And I didn't mean to set the ball rolling.”
Following the release of their self-titled album next month, Megadeth will tour Canada, Europe, and the United States.
In August, Megadeth teased on Instagram that “the end” was near for the longtime band. They later shared a video with an announcement from their animated skeleton mascot, Vic Rattlehead. “The next Megadeth album will be the last. 40 years of metal forged in steel will end in fire … And when the New Year rises, the global farewell tour,” the mascot announced.
