Not worried though, I'm sure he'll be back to raging onstage soon. Just a reminder though, that we're all mortal... Let's not take our favorite bands and musicians for granted. Loading...

The gig tonight was due to the fact it has been cancelled on two occassions last year. In their last gig in June in London, which was cancelled twice due to Araya's back injury, someone was injured during the gig and needed to be hospitalised. The gig was stopped for more than 30 mins. Bad luck is following Slayer everywhere it seems. Loading...
