(antiMusic) Al Jourgensen is putting his Ministry to rest after a final tour and album. He's enlisted some of his friends to give the band a proper live send off including the former rhythm section of Megadeth. The final Ministry album, "The Last Sucker", will hit stores on September 18th with a farewell tour to follow early next year, according to Blabbermouth. While the tour won't happen for some months, Al has revealed who will be joining him on the outing. The final live version of Ministry will be: Al Jourgensen on Vocals, Jimmy Degrasso (Megadeth, Y&T, Suicidal Tendencies) on Drums, David Ellefson (Megadeth, F5, Temple Of Brutality) on Bass, Tommy Victor (Prong) on Guitar, Sin Quirin (The Revolting Cocks) on Guitar, John Bechdel (Fear Factory, Killing Joke) on Keyboards
What will Al do with him time after the final musical sermon of his ministry? "I've got a lot of side-projects and new projects I want to focus on," explained Jourgensen in a Blabbermouth article. "We have our our own label, 13th Planet Records, we're building, and I want to sign, produce and collaborate with other artists. Being in the studio writing, recording and collaborating is my favorite part of this snake-oil industry. I'd rather be behind the console than behind the mic. Plus, I kinda like the synchronicity of Dubya and Ministry riding off into the sunset hand in hand."
