Overkill have recruited David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) to handle bass on their Latin American tour. He will be filling in for D.D. Verni, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
Singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth commented:
“South, Central America and Mexico, with D.D. on the mend from surgery and the opportunity in front of us, where to go but back to the roots of THRASH! Please welcome Mr. David Ellefson to the Overkill touring ranks this April 2024! ‘David, can you help?’ The answer: ‘Yes, let’s go!’ We can’t wait to see you guys! Horns up!”
Verni continued:
“Bummed to not be able to thrash it up with our Latin America fans, but gotta get this wing workin!!….but who better than one of the great original thrash bass players, and old friend, David Ellefson to fill in.”
Ellefson added:
“It’s an honor to fill in for my friend, the mighty D.D. Verni, as he takes time to heal up right now. Overkill always brings the fury and I’m looking forward to scorching Latin America with them!”
