Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has revealed he underwent hip replacement surgery after being diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Known for his energetic live performances that see him run and jump all over the stage, Dickinson revealed he was in agony on the band’s ‘Legacy of the Beast World Tour’, which began in 2018, and couldn’t even “walk properly.”
David Ellefson to sue for defamation over leaked videos which forced his firing from Megadeth
David Ellefson, the former Megadeth bassist, is looking to file a lawsuit against the individual who uploaded explicit videos of him online. Earlier this month, leaked footage of what Ellefson called “personal conversations and interactions” were posted on Twitter by an anonymous user. The bassist has repeatedly denied suggestions that he had ‘groomed’ an underage fan, but admitted on Instagram that “private, adult interactions” had taken place, which he claimed were “taken out of context and manipulated to inflict maximum damage to my reputation, my career and family.” The woman involved also came forward to deny the suggestion that she was underage at the time the video calls took place, to say that she initiated their online interactions, and also to deny that she was ‘groomed‘ by Ellefson. “I was always a consenting adult,” she stated. “Nothing inappropriate ever happened before that. It was all consensual, I’m not a victim and I have not been groomed in the slightest as I was the one to initiate it.”
