Megadeth fire Dave Ellefson
Bassist is ‘let go’ following accusations of “grooming”.
DAVID ELLEFSON HAS been fired by Megadeth. The bassist, who rejoined the thrash-metal giants in 2010, was ‘let go’ following a sexually based online exchange with a female fan in which graphic texts and video footage were shared on Twitter. Ellefson denied accusations of “grooming” the fan, who insisted: “It was all consensual, I’m not a victim. I was the one to initiate it.”
