Tom Araya has been booked in to receive back surgery at the end of the month, and Slayer has therefore been forced to cancel its tour plans for April. Araya had been looking down alternative avenues for treatment, with the problem having not been handled however surgery is now required for the bassist/vocalist.
Slayer manager Rick Sales released the following comment regarding the postponement of Slayer’s scheduled tour:
“As unfortunate as this is for so many people – the Megadeth and Testament camps, the concerts’ promoters, and, of course, the fans – Tom’s health is the number one priority, and this has to happen.”
The plan is to reschedule the tour for later on in 2010.
