In a statement posted Monday by Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine, the vocalist and lead guitarist made it clear that the band would be moving forward without Ellefson. "We are informing our fans that David Ellefson is no longer playing with Megadeth and that we are officially parting ways with him," the statement began. "We do not take this decision lightly," Mustaine continued. "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. We look forward to seeing our fans on the road this summer, and we cannot wait to share our brand new music with the world. It is almost complete.".............
