MEGADETH Drummer Checks In From Europe

March 3, 2008

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update:

"Just a quick note to wish all of you well. I do hope those who have attended the shows thus far have enjoyed them as much as we did, and to those who will attend these last shows of the Euro leg, I look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces. Though most of you don't/won't see it (as I am buried in cymbals and drums) I will be smiling right back at you."

MEGADETH's February 4, 2008 concert in Helsinki, Finland marked the band's live debut with new guitarist Chris Broderick, who has previously played with JAG PANZER and NEVERMORE.

The third installment of the U.S. Gigantour — the acclaimed traveling heavy music festival launched in 2005 by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine — will launch April 12 in Denver, CO with headliner MEGADETH, Swedish metal band IN FLAMES, Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM, Arizona's modern extreme JOB FOR A COWBOY and Oakland, CA heavy power trio HIGH ON FIRE all confirmed. The 29-date trek will criss-cross North America and wraps May 22 in Phoenix, AZ.
