“It’s never a closed chapter. I helped start the band.” David Ellefson doesn’t rule out Megadeth return

David Ellefson.

Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson has hinted he’s open to rejoining the band.

Ellefson co-founded Megadeth with singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine in 1984. He was dismissed from the venerated thrash band in 2021, following explicit video of him interacting with a fan getting leaked online. Three years later, though, Ellefson has said his time in Megadeth “is never a closed chapter”.
