Megadeth's David Ellefson joined by Judas Priest stars at Wolverhampton show

The Grammy Award-winning bassist will bring his solo More Live With Deth tour to KKs Steel Mill featuring Judas Priest legends KK Downing, Les Binks and Tim 'Ripper' Owens.

Megadeth co-founder David rose to fame with the band from 1983, producing hits such as Symphony of Destruction, Tornado of Souls, A Tout le Monde, Holy Wars...The Punishment Due and more.

Ellefson published his new memoir, More Life With Deth, in July via Jawbone Press, which was an Amazon number bestseller.

He also released a companion solo album, Sleeping Giants, which features collaborations with Hazaert, DMC, John Bush, Mark Tremonti, Chris Poland, Bumblefoot, Dave McClain, Joey Radziwill, Eric Ak and Steve Conley, David Glen Eisley, and more,.

Speaking ahead of the show, West Bromwich rocker KK Downing said: “I am very pleased to have been asked to perform a unique and special concert with Megadeth’s David Ellefson to celebrate the release of his new book.

"The concert will also bring about the opportunity to play again with some very dear and talented metal legends from the past.

The combination of these icons will for sure enable us to deliver up one of the most exciting concerts this year, so much so that it would not be out of place to call this the ultimate ass kicking 'MegaPriest' fest, and is one that is not to be missed.”

Fifty four-year-old David Ellefson added: “I speak very candidly in my new book about the significance Judas Priest played in my early musical trajectory, specifically the Unleashed in the East live album with its picture-perfect image of what heavy metal should look and sound like.

"To me that album, along with its powerful cover image, captured the excitement I felt for a new era of music, one that would transition me from my roots in American Hard Rock over to that of British Heavy Metal.

"Over the years KK and I became fast friends while we toured together with Priest and Megadeth, and I’m beyond thrilled to perform together onstage with him and his former Priest band mates, as we light up the Steel Mill together for a night of molten metal classics.”

“Thom (Hazaert) and I have been touring all summer across the USA supporting the new book and our Sleeping Giants release.

"Plus Ripper and I have shared stages all around the world in the last decade or so, and now to add Les Binks in the mix, who to my generation was the ultimate metal double bass drummer, this has become the ultimate metal family reunion”

David Ellefson will play KKs Steel Mill in Wolverhampton on November 3.
