Dave Mustaine has confirmed that James LoMenzo will play bass for MEGADETH when the band returns to the road in April for the second U.S. leg of “The Metal Tour Of The Year.”
Joining them will once again be co-headliners LAMB OF GOD along with special guests TRIVIUM and IN FLAMES.
Mustaine took to social media to wish James a happy 63rd birthday, and he included the following message: “With ‘The Metal Tour Of The Year’ starting again soon, we’ll celebrate your birthday with the fans! Wishing you all the best, brother. @bassmonsterr.”
LoMenzo joined MEGADETH in 2006 and appeared on two of the group’s studio albums, 2007’s United Abominations and 2009’s Endgame. He was fired from the band in 2010 and replaced with returning original MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson.
