Megadeth leader decides after Gigantour

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has spoken openly about possibly discontinuing the band, even as it headlines this summer's Gigantour package. Mustaine hasn't put a timetable on his decision yet, but he told us that he'd like to have something determined shortly after the tour wraps in early September:

Megadeth's latest studio album, The System Has Failed, came out last year. The group released a compilation, Greatest Hits: Back To The Start, in June.

In addition to Megadeth, the Gigantour lineup included Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Life Of Agony and others.

Gigantour stoped on Friday, August 26th in Boston, Massachusetts.
