Bassist David Ellefson was let go from Megadeth in 2021 amidst a sex scandal, but he’s not against a return to the band.
Ellefson told ‘El Planeta Del Rock,’ “Look, I helped start the band. I was there from the beginning. My heart and soul was in it. You’ll hear that in those songs forever.”
He added, “And, look, that way of life, our lifestyle, our work ethic has influenced me forever. It’s part of how I still roll now moving forward. So, you can’t just take that piece of your life and just pull it out and stick it on the shelf. It’s part of me. I’m always part of that.”
Ellefson noted of his exit, “ … It wasn’t my idea to not be there.”
