Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is moving to Italy.
The rocker recently bought a house in the Italian countryside but says he also plans to maintain his U.S. residency.
Mustaine’s family’s wine company, House of Mustaine, recently expanded its operations to Italy.
He reportedly told the crowd at the AMA Music Festival in Italy, “A couple of weeks ago I just bought a house in Italy. So think about that — you wake up tomorrow morning and you see me out your window, and I’m walking with my boxes. And you go, ‘F**k, man, that looks like Dave Mustaine. Look at all those guitars. S**t, that’s gotta be him.’”
He continued, “I’ve gotta tell you, I am so excited to be able to call Italy a new place for us to live. And I wanna thank you all for your graciousness and helping teach me how to be a good resident here and to learn how to live the Italian life.”
“What I said about me moving over here is true,” he concluded. “And I’m really excited to live in Italy when we do. We’re gonna keep our residency in the States, but we are gonna be living here. And we really look forward to meeting a lot of you. And I think we’re gonna have a lot of fun together.”
