Since
Megadeth, there’s been speculation that former
Metallica bassist
Jason Newsted could take his place. But fans shouldn’t hold their breath, he’s piped up to shoot down the rumors.
Jason’s name has been thrown around online as a potential Megadeth replacement, and apparently, word has finally reached the rock veteran. He’s not on social media, so his wife
Nicole has responded instead… and she says it’s not happening.
“Hi, guys! Two things: 1. Jason is not joining Megadeth. Peace to them. Listen to metal,” she writes on Instagram. “2. Jason does not have social media accounts… If you are receiving DMs from the Jason Newsted music account or any other account claiming to be Jason please know this is not Jason, and proceed at your own risk.”

DAUGHTRY is celebrating the memory of Chris Cornell by teaming up with SEVENDUST's Lajon Witherspoon for a reimagining of the hit TEMPLE OF THE DOG.
When you think of hard rock duets, Temple of the Dog s Hunger Strike is usually near the top of the list. The track has been covered several times over the years and the latest pairing to do so is Daughtry with an assist from Sevendust s Lajon Witherspoon.
The two musicians covered the track as a show of love and respect for the song s original vocalist Chris Cornell and it gives both singers a chance to show off their own vocal power. Daughtry takes on the Cornell vocal while Witherspoon steps in for Eddie Vedder s lines.
Witherspoon shares, “What an honor to be a part of this incredible song and to work with my brother Chris Daughtry and the boys. This to me was a musical movement in our community and still to this day in the world.”
