Overkill announced that David Ellefson will be the bassist who will accompany the band during its next tour of Latin America in April 2024. The trip will begin on April 11 in Guadalajara, Mexico, and has stops in Costa Rica, Chile and Peru, before their last show on the 28th of the same month in Sao Paulo, Brazil. For this tour, DD Verni will not be able to accompany the band, while he recovers from surgery on his shoulder.
“Mexico, South America and Central America, with DD convalescing from his operation and the opportunity in front of us to do something historic, we went to the roots of Thrash! Please welcome Mr. David Ellefson to Overkill during April! “David, can you help us?” The response was: “Yes, let's go with everything!” “We can't wait to see you again!”
DD Verni comments: “I am very sorry not to be able to destroy stages with our fans in Latin America, but we have to stay active, and what better card than my friend and one of the first bassists of Thrash Metal, David Ellefson, to play in my place.
David Ellefson says: “It's an honor to fill in for my friend, the tremendous DD Verni, while he takes time to heal properly. Overkill always unleashes fury in the fans and I am very eager to burn Latin America with them!"
