JAKARTA - Kiko Loureiro guitarist is confirmed to be absent from the Crush The World Megadeth tour due to family affairs. He has to stay at home with his children in Finland.

"Here Kiko! Our new album The Sick, The Dying, and The Dead and our Crush The World tour is amazing. The world track position has been the best! We want to express our deepest gratitude for that," the Brazilian-born musician released a statement. I have something hard to share, but we've always wanted to give you the real information. I have to leave the tour for now, be at home with my kids, and help them face the tough challenges that arise from us being 'Fathers who work far from home'. "

"I found a guitarist, Teemu M worryntysaari [Wintersun, Smackbound], to replace me during the fall, and I think you will be very happy. He's an amazing player."

"I have informed my partner in the funeral, Dave Mustaine, and it's no surprise he said, "Come on! Come here to your family and keep us informed!"

"To my bandmates and all our fans around the world, see you later, back to Killing Road!"

Meanwhile, Mustaine added: "Kiko has a problem in her family life that requires her to miss the next part of our 'Crush The World' tour."

"We're not going to cancel the tour, and we'll introduce you to Teemu on September 6 inene, New Mexico, at the Revel Arena. We ask for your support and understanding at this time."
