In light of the recent departure of both Shawn Drover and Chris Broderick, Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson has issued a statement stating that the band are not breaking up. Here’s his official statement:

“As you can probably tell by me being here today, we are not disbanding. As of right now, we are looking at all the options, of which there are many. We’ll certainly continue working on the new songs for the next record, Hopefully that brings everyone up to speed on things as of today. Thank you for all of your kind words, concerns and support to us.”
