With shock but with massive grins we welcome the unexpected news of bassist David Ellefson returning to the Megadeth ranks after an eight year absence. On the return, Dave Mustaine said “This shows the power of brotherly love and forgiveness. David Ellefson belongs in Megadeth. Next we are going to show you the power of getting your asses kicked…HARD!” Ellefson himself added: “This is a huge moment for all of us, band and fans alike.”He continued, “It literally happened over the weekend. And I can hardly believe it myself. There was clearly gonna be a change in the lineup, because James Lomenzo was leaving. Dave and I talked on the phone, and all the feuds, all the arguments we’ve been having over the years just melted away. It just goes to show what direct contact can achieve!”
This news is greeted with particular joy as Megadeth are currently touring to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the landmark album Rust In Peace, and playing it in its entirety.
The Megadeth line up now sees Mustaine and Ellefson alongside drummer Shawn Drover and esteemed guitarist Chris Broderick.
Finally, Megadeth play the Marquee, Cork on June 14th.
