The public asked for it and received an answer. Since Megadeth David Ellefson 's departure from the band, the internet has only been talking about one name : Jason Newsted.
Internet users went wild at the possibility of the former Metallica filling the open spot, although Brazilian fans also campaigned in favor of Juninho Groovador . To respond to the public outcry and also clarify some things, Jason's wife used her Instagram account to speak out.
“First of all, Jason is not joining Megadeth. Peace to them. Listen to metal,” wrote Nicole Newsted . “Secondly, Jason doesn’t have social media and that includes TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, OnlyFans, Tinder and others. If you are receiving DMs from someone claiming to be Jason, please know that this is not him and proceed at your own risk.”
The most fun part is Metallica's illustrious participation in the story, since the band's official account liked the post.
Despite the disappointment, it was to be expected that Newsted wouldn't be able to fill David Ellefson's spot, since Ellefson himself had stated and Vovoid songs . The bassist underwent three surgeries on both shoulders and eventually began experiencing severe pain, which led to his addiction to a medication called Vicodin.
