Shawn Drover, the man who spent a decade on beat-keeping duties for the legendary metal band Megadeth, has declared that he is leaving the band to focus on more personal stuff.

Drover said in a statement that he officially is leaving due to his desire to "pursue my own musical interests". Whatever the case may be, the dude still did one hell of a job on the throne for Dave Mustaine and Co. for ten years.

Of course, there aren't any signs that this was due to strained relationships or anything like that. It simply looks like Drover wants something different.

Update: Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick has also left the band.

Cheers to him and his future.
