Former Megadeth bassist James LoMenzo will replace David Ellefson in the band for their upcoming tour.
The band is currently working on a new album and have said that it will feature a bassist other than Ellefson; it did not confirm whether LoMenzo would be that bassist. The tour will kick off in Austin on August 20th and work its way around North America before ending in Quebec City in October.
In May, Megadeth announced they were “officially parting ways” with Ellefson — who was a band member from 1983 to 2002 and again from 2010 until this year — after sexually explicit video of him appeared online.
“Recently, a very private video was illegally posted on the internet and false allegations were made against me,” Ellefson told at the time. “The actions in the video were between two consenting adults and were recorded without my knowledge. I am working with Scottsdale Police Department in their investigation into charges regarding revenge pornography to be filed against the person who posted this video. Also, my lawyers are preparing a defamation lawsuit to be filed against this person.
