Due to an ongoing sex scandal, bassist David Ellefson has been kicked out of Megadeth. You can read the band's kind of self-serving statement HERE! As usual, it seems Dave Mustaine couldn't wait to throw Ellefson under the tour bus at the earliest possible juncture.


...

Hearing some "chatter" about Jason Newsted replacing Ellefson on Megadeth, but Jason's wife call BS.

https://guitar.com/news/music-news/j...megadeth-wife/

There is no reason to believe that Jason would even entertain the subject of having to dealing with Mustaine in any professional capacity.

Never mind that Metallica were HUGE assholes to Newsted. He's more than earned every bit of those sweet, sweet, Metallicious royalty payments for the rest of his or his families life forever. **** both Mustaine & tellica.
