After being accused of sexually interacting with a woman in the past, Megadeth made the decision to relieve David Ellefson from his duties as a part of the band.
Now that the truth has come to light that the accuser was of legal age and all of their interactions were consensual, many fans have been wondering if the bassist will return to his original group.
The musician recently spoke with the "Loaded Radio" podcast where he opened up about the possibility of getting back with his old pals.
"Well, look, I'm not the one who closed the door. [Laughs] You know what I mean," he said. (via Metal Sucks)
He also spoke about his relationship with Dave Mustaine, the band's frontman, saying he's always gonna be his brother as they shared a lot of history and friendship over the past decades.
"And look, brothers fight, brothers hug and make up, and that's the journey," he added.
