Megadeth - Bassist Breaks Foot, Cancel Shows
On July 15th, Megadeth were slated to perform at the Rockmaraton Festival in Dunaujvaros, Hungary, but had to cancel the show when bassist David Ellefson broke his foot backstage before the band went on. After planning to save the show, mainman Dave Mustaine informed the crowd that Megadeth would not be playing. The thrash band has canceled the remaining two shows on their European tour, including the Harley Days festival in Slovakia Saturday night and the Masters Of Rock festival in the Czech Republic on Sunday, July 17th.
Mustaine revealed the news about the broken foot to his fans on Periscope, stating: "So we're here backstage and David Ellefson was walking across the ground and fell and just broke his foot."
A statement on the Rockmaraton Facebook page reads: "The bassist has a foot bone fracture and Megadeth are unable to perform. Organisers immediately called an ambulance and Ellefson was transported to St. Pantaleon hospital where his foot was placed in a cast. Despite the injury, he was in a good mood and was taking selfies with the paramedics on the way back to the venue when it still seemed that the band would perform. Lead singer Dave Mustaine decided to cancel the show despite Ellefson's desire to perform with his foot in a cast. Mustaine then went on stage to announce the cancellation to the crowd."
