MEGA-BOMBSHELL! MEGADETH’s Shawn Drover, Chris Broderick Quit!
November 27, 2014, 10 years ago
It isn’t much of a celebratory holiday for US thrash legends Megadeth with the pre-Thanksgiving announcements this week that both drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick have left the band. This all came out of the blue while the band were seemingly working on the follow-up to 2013’s Super Collider.
Their statements can be read below:
Shawn Drover:
“After 10 years, I have decided to quit Megadeth to pursue my own musical interests. I want to thank Dave Mustaine and the entire Megadeth family, as well as thanking all the amazing Megadeth fans around the world!!! I truly appreciate all of you.
Stay tuned for info on my next musical journey."
Chris Broderick:
"Due to artistic and musical differences, it is with great reluctance that I announce my departure from Megadeth to pursue my own musical direction. I want all of you to know how much I appreciate the amount that you the fans have accepted and respected me as a member of Megadeth for the last seven years, but it is time for me to move on. I wish Dave and everyone in Megadeth all the best. I am working on a few things of my own and hope that when they come out, you will all dig it."The Megadeth camp has yet to release an official statement regarding Broderick's and Drover's departures. Stay tuned for updates.
