(Classic Rock) Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover have quit Megadeth, they've announced separately. Guitarist Broderick says he's left due to "artistic and musical differences" after seven years in Dave Mustaine's outfit, while drummer Drover reports he wants to pursue other musical interests after a decade-long stint.

The split leave Mustaine and co-founding bassist David Ellefson as the only current members of the thrash giants - despite plans to start recording their 15th album in January.

Broderick's statement reads: "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.

"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'll all dig it." Read more here.
