Megadeth Cancel Australian Tour

The Megadeth Australian tour has been cancelled. The band announced the news this morning with the following statement on Facebook.

“Due to circumstances beyond its control, unfortunately Megadeth has to cancel their Australian dates. Megadeth’s decision is unrelated to the fact that Jason Newsted is performing at Soundwave. Jason and I spoke recently and continue to be friends.” – Dave Mustaine, Megadeth
