I’ve been diagnosed with throat cancer. It’s clearly something to be respected and faced head on - but I’ve faced obstacles before. I’m working closely with my doctors, and we’ve mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90% success rate...
My friends, I have sad news to share with you today. My sister Michelle has passed away. I was truly lucky to have a sister like her. Rest in peace, my dear Michelle.
I just woke up in Belgium to the news that my friend Vinnie Paul has passed away. Another metal hero taken too soon. Say hello to Daryl for me. Rest In Peace, my dear friend.

Malcolm is gone, and although his music lives on, there are no words to express this sadness. Bittersweet as it is, I’m happy he’s free from the dementia and in Heaven with Bon and his brother George. I owe so much to Malcolm Young...
Heartbroken to hear about the passing of the legendary Edward Van Halen. My sincere condolences to his family and all who held him close.

So sad to hear about the passing of Ray Burton. He was there the first time I played "In My Darkest Hour" in honor of Cliff. Rest in Peace Ray, you will be missed.
So sad to hear about the passing of Alexi Laiho. We often toured together, he was truly an incredible talent. My sincere condolences to his family, friends and fans.
WOW! My guitar tech, Bryan Jones found this near mint ‘79 silverburst Les Paul custom to start my vintage collection! What do you guys think? What should I search for next?

February 11, many years ago, you came into our lives and blessed us with our first child, and what a blessing it was. You're an amazing person, friend, brother, husband, and son. Happy birthday, Justis. Love, Dad.
Thank you guys for all the great birthday wishes. My career has given me everything and more, and I’m grateful for it. I’m truly blessed to have the family I have, as well as so many friends, and fans! 😎

Get well soon,

Happy birthday to my drummer extraordinaire, Dirk Verbeuren! You are a powerhouse and your drumming on the new record is exceptional. Have a great day, buddy!
Happy birthday Electra. You are a wonderful daughter and it's my privilege, and an honor to be your dad. I can't wait for many more years ahead. I love you.

Happy birthday to my amazing daughter Electra. I am so proud of who you’ve become and the people you’ve chosen in your life to inspire you, to be your friends, and to be the ones you love. I cherish the day you were born. Love Dad
It’s not every day one of the most fearsome guitarists in the world gives you a compliment like this.
Thank you Kerry, I look forward to hearing your new stuff and we should definitely go out together.
One of Megadeth's very first drummers, Lee Rauch, has passed away. He played on the recording of our Last Rites demo tape in early 1984, and I can remember the good times during our rehearsals at Curly Joe's studio in LA. Farewell, my friend, till we meet again someday.
My deepest sympathies to the family of Michael Lee, better known as “Meat Loaf.” A Giant in the industry and a Giant among men. My condolences to his wonderful daughter, my friend Pearl, and the millions of Meat Loaf fans around the world. You will surely be missed.
To my bestest buddy ever! I can't believe it's been 29 years since the day I first saw you, and you blessed your mom and me. Happy Birthday my Handsome Son! Love, the luckiest Dad in the world!

Sad news today, my friend Bob Nalbandian, the metal legend who helped me find Marty Friedman, has passed away. We will miss you terribly, Bob. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Saddened to hear about the passing of the great Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The last surviving original member of the legendary band. Rest in Peace, Gary.
Happy birthday, Dirk, the beast from Belgium! So glad you are in the band, and I want to thank you for being such a fantastic friend. Hope you have a great day.
Each day you look into your daughter's eyes and you feel that overwhelming love for her and the wonder of how such a beautiful thing could come into your life, I want you to know I felt and thought the same exact thing 32 years ago today. I love you, son. Happy birthday!
Dad 😃
