Both guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover have quit Megadeth. Statements from both musicians can be read below:

Drover:

After 10 years, I have decided to quit Megadeth to pursue my own musical interests. I want to thank Dave Mustaine and the entire Megadeth family, as well as thanking all the amazing Megadeth fans around the world!!! I truly appreciate all of you.

Stay tuned for info on my next musical journey.

Broderick:

Due to artistic and musical differences, 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 as a member of MEGADETH for the last seven years, but it is time for me to move on.

I wish Dave [Mustaine] 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 will all dig it.
