Dave Mustaine, the famed lead singer of metal band Megadeth, recently earned his black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Professor Reggie Almeida at Gracie Barra Spring Hill BJJ & Self-Defense in Tennessee.

The Megadeth founder earned his purple belt in January 2021 at age 59, shortly after successfully battling throat cancer, and then brown belt in October 2022 at age 61.
