In 1983, he was fired from Overkill due to his extreme lifestyle, but rejoined the band some days after.

In 1998, Ellsworth was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of nose cancer and underwent immediate surgery. It was caught before it spread.

Ellsworth suffered a focal seizure (often mislabeled as a stroke) in Germany in June 2002 and collapsed on stage during an Overkill show.
