2002 Megadeth Disbandment

In 2002 Dave Mustaine suffered severe nerve damage by falling asleep with his arm over a chair. This caused compression in his radial nerve and caused Dave to lose most of the ability in his left hand; he wasn’t even able to make a fist. Dave made a public announcement about the decision to break up the band. This was a shock to the world but it was the only thing that could be done with front man Dave in this kind of shape.
