Dave Mustaine Address Megadeth Lineup Change Rumor

(Metal Hammer) Dave Mustaine has slammed a rumor that new Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro is already out of the band. He joined the thrash icons last year, following the departure of Chris Broderick in 2014, and after a failed attempt to bring back classic-era axeman Marty Friedman.

The band's Wikipedia entry yesterday listed Friedman as a current member, although it's been updated since then. Mustaine tweets: "Kiko is 100% in Megadeth. The sites and sources that said he is leaving are unreliable and should not be trusted at all.

"I did not fire Kiko. I love the man. He is in Finland with his wife having his twin babies." He adds: "I love Marty too - but I have never been happier since I met Kiko." Read more here.
