Megadeth Fires Bassist David Ellefson Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Megadeth is parting ways with their bassist David Ellefson after he was accused of sexual misconduct – including allegations he groomed an underaged girl via messages and videos that circulated online.
At the time, David called the clips “private, adult interactions that were taken out of context.” But it looks like the situation is enough for him to get booted from the band. In a statement, Megadeth says they’re “officially parting ways” with the bassist, saying that while they don’t know “every detail” of the situation they know that “working together [will be] impossible moving forward.”
“We are informing our fans that David Ellefson is no longer playing with Megadeth and that we are officially parting ways with him. We do not take this decision lightly,” the band says. “While we do not know every detail of what occurred, with an already strained relationship, what has already been revealed now is enough to make working together impossible moving forward.” Check out the band’s post below.
