Lillian Axe guitarist and longtime HardRadio friend STEVE BLAZE has revealed at facebook.com/blazesteve that he and his son, Jude, were recently involved in a serious car accident. An excerpt of the message Blaze shared: "It's been a few days, but I thought it would be the right time to let everybody know what happened a few days ago. Sunday night around 6:30 Jude and I were going from our home to my office. We were hit by a driver who ran a red light and smashed into the left side of our car at my door and front left panel driving us across two lanes and going head on into a light pole and stop sign. The car was completely totalled and we were completely jarred. [] Please do not ever take for granted one minute of your life. This happened to us in a split second where we had absolutely no inkling of an idea that this was about to happen. Make sure you tell every single person that you care about every day how you feel about them."

The new autobiography from MEGADETH frontman and very longtime HardRadio friend DAVE MUSTAINE - IN MY DARKEST HOUR has debuted at #4 on The New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction best sellers list. In My Darkest Hour takes readers from the treatment room to the studio as Mustaine chronicles how his squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis inspired him to take up the pen and guitar pick, going from radiation and chemotherapy appointments straight into hours-long recording sessions, resulting in Megadeth's sixteenth studio album, The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead! Along the way, Mustaine details how confronting his own mortality brought him closer to his family, taught him how to ask for help, strengthened his faith, and challenged the vulnerability of his art.
