JAKARTA - Metallica former bassist Jason Newsted will appear with the Newsted project for the first time in nearly a decade on May 20 at Revolution Live at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Newsted, who plays bass and sings in the project, will join the show with original Newsted member Jesus Mendez Jr. (Underlord) on drums and Jessie total (Underlord) on guitar, along with new guitarist Humberto Perez.
Withdrawing to February 2014, Jason canceled his appearance at the Soundwave Australian festival with Newsted, on personal grounds. The cancellation follows more than a year of intensive tours and promotional activities surrounding Metal's EP (mini album) release and follow-up album Heavy Metal Music, both of which critics and fans received positive acceptance.
Meanwhile, Staind guitarist Mike Musk, who joined Newsted in March 2013 and played on Heavy Metal Music, told "The Jasta Show" in a 2019 interview that Jason finally stopped the band because it was not financially feasible for him to continue playing.

"I think he's happy with that [creatively]," Mike said. "I think the tour is difficult. I don't think it's exactly what he expected. But listen, it's fun. I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed our time together and playing. We're still friends; we're still communicating... We're playing in a smaller place, but it's always nice; it's always fun," said Mike.
"I think the cost is very expensive. Because he pays bills for everything. So I think at the end of the day, he's, like, 'I'm doing this because of my desire for it and what I like, but I'm bleeding here.' We're doing a European tour that I think is very detrimental to it.
