The rock band Megadeth has parted ways with its bassist David Ellefson following recent sexual misconduct allegations against the performer.
"We are informing our fans that David Ellefson is no longer playing with Megadeth and that we are officially parting ways with him," Megadeth co-founder and lead guitarist Dave Mustaine wrote in a statement released on its social media accounts on Monday.
"We do not take this decision lightly," the statement 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."
Earlier this month, Ellefson, 56, attempted to clear the air over speculation he was intimately involved in communications with a woman who wasn’t his wife after alleged sexually explicit messages and video surfaced online. According to People magazine, in his social media post, which has since been made private, Ellefson denied the speculation that he allegedly "groomed" an underage fan.

Miss Conduct has been all over the place. Crazy slut....
If the internet was around in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s, we’d all be listening to big band elevator music today.
Dave Mustaine is a better Christian than I, or at least used to be.
He actually had a preacher on staff during tours and major appearances, if memory serves.
Any woman who takes up with a member of a band called Megadeth should have a pretty good idea what to expect.
I’m actually old enough to remember when this would be considered resume enhancement in a metalhead band.
Meanwhile, everyone including Mark Zuckerberg who was involved in the THEFT OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION walks around like nothing happened that night ALONG WITH THE NEWS MEDIA.
Dave Mustaine, not much of a lead singer but he writes interesting songs and can shred on a guitar. Politically aware, also.

Peace sells ....but who’s buying?
What do you mean I don’t believe in your system?
I go to court when I have too.
LOL!
Lol. You rock.
Don’t agree with the “not much of a lead singer” bit; he did insanely good work on Peace Sells, and a number of further albums.
He didn't share the best looking women the roadies brought backstage.
I had no idea Megadeth was still even together anymore. These old bands from our youth pop up in the news every now and then, when a band member dies or is involved in some scandal.
Whatdya mean I can’t get to work on time? Got nothing better to do. Whatdya mean I don’t pay my bills? Whatdya think I’m broke, huh?.
Had the cassette on Combat Records after seeing the Peace Sells video on MTV. “I want to watch the news...this IS the news!”
“You know things have gone off the deep end when a heavy metal band mate is fired for sexual misconduct.”
You can say that again. Sheesh. Einstein molested every girl he could at Princeton. Paul Stanley at Kiss boasted about his debauchery. Kennedy and LB Johnson broke the hearts of their wives every night. What is the problem now? Ellefson is probably a Christian like Mustaine and is getting a major cross from the Lord. Thankfully, there’s much more to life than riches, fame, and pleasure. Just ask Job in the Old Testament.
