Shawn Drover previously issued the following update:

"Let me tell you, it is nice to wake up, make some awesome coffee and read the barrage of email's congratulating Megadeth on our Grammy Nomination for "Best Metal Performance". I am really thankful and humbled about the whole thing, and I am looking forward to attending the Grammy's and having a total blast, like we did last year.

We are off to both New Zealand and Australia next week - what a great way to end 2010 by playing festivals and getting in some beach time right before the Christmas holidays. 2010 has been a good year..."
