I just read this on azcentral.com, I'm not a heavy metal fan but does anyone know anything else about this? I live in Phoenix and would consider trying to contact him if he does have a bpi.

The pioneering metal band Megadeth, led by Scottsdale's Dave Mustaine, is breaking up after 20 years because of a serious injury suffered by the frontman, the band's publicist says.
Mustaine, who sang and played guitar in the platinum-selling group, suffered severe nerve damage to his left arm and hand during a January visit to Texas, according to Chipster Entertainment. Details of the injury's cause were not provided.
"My doctors tell me it will take about a year to make as complete a recovery as I can," Mustaine, 40, said in a statement. "God willing, I hope to play guitar again."
Megadeth recently released Rude Awakening, a live double CD recorded at Phoenix's Celebrity Theatre last fall.
Mustaine, who helped found the supergroup Metallica in 1981, left in 1983 to form Megadeth.
Powered by slicing guitar work and Mustaine's brash vocals, Megadeth sold millions of CDs with such songs as Hangar 18 and Symphony of Destruction.
Mustaine has two young children with his wife, Pam.
