David Ellefson will not appear on the upcoming Megadeth album, says Dave Mustaine.
Talking with Gimme Radio on the “The Dave Mustaine Show”, Mustaine said:
“I just wanna thank you for all the kind words and support as we get ready for this next tour and continue to hunt for a new bass player.
”We are making progress. The record’s being completed, and we’re gonna have someone coming in in a couple of weeks to replace the bass tracks that we had. Which should be relatively quick because the person we’re talking to is a stellar bass player.
”And hopefully, this will be an ongoing thing after the recording. Or we will find someone prior to the recording that will be our permanent guy going forward.”
