Megadeth fired the founding member for alleged sexual harassment

“This decision was not easy for us, we do not know all the details of what happened, but in an already strained relationship, what was found is enough to make further cooperation impossible in the future,” said the group on the social network.

However, David Ellefson denies the allegations. He said it was an adult private communication that was “taken out of context and manipulated to do the most damage to my reputation, my career and my family.”

He also published a statement from the girl concerned stating that she was not a minor and that everything was done with her consent.

Ellefson founded Megadeth with Dave Mustain in Los Angeles in 1983. After Metallica, they are one of the most famous hard bands in the world. They made their debut in 1985 with the album Killing Is My Business … and Business Is Good !.

Peace Sells … but Who’s Buying? (1986), which was a commercial success similar to So Far, So Good … So What! (1988), Rust in Peace (1990) and Countdown to Extinction (1992). Since then, Megadeth has played in stadiums and sold about forty million albums.
