Megadeth have cancelled the remaining two shows of their European tour after David Ellefson broke his foot before last night's scheduled concert in Hungary.
The band were due to play the Harley Days Festival in Slovakia on Saturday night (16th July 2016) and the Masters Of Rock Festival in the Czech Republic tonight, Sunday 17th July but both of those shows have now been called off due to Dave's injury.
Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has issued a video message regarding the situation which you can see here.

Dave Ellefson apparently suffered his injury while walking around the backstage area at the Rockmaraton festival in Dunaújváros, Hungary on Friday afternoon. The event organizers immediately called an ambulance and Dave was transported to the Saint Pantaleon hospital in Dunaújváros and had his foot placed in a cast.
The event organizers said that despite his injury, Dave was in a good mood and was taking selfies with the paramedics on his way back to the venue, still apparently thinking that he would be able to play the show. Dave Mustaine also seemed sure that the gig would happen, but apparently changed his mind shortly before they were due to begin.
Dave (M) eventually went up on stage and announced the cancellation to disappointed fans.
Megadeth begin their South American tour on July 30th in Quito, Ecuador but it is currently not clear how or if Dave's injury will affect this scheduled run of dates.
