Slayer/Megadeth Postpone January 23rd show

Posted by Woody On January - 11 - 2010

Heavy Metal Legends Slayer and Megadeth have announced that they are postponing all of the US shows of ‘The American Carnage Tour’. This includes the tour’s January 23rd stop at the Dodge Theater.

Slayer lead singer and bassist Tom Araya is undergoing surgery to repair his back. Araya injured his back last October on Slayer’s tour of the far east.  Attempts were made to try different remedies to alleviate the pain but none were successful.  The procedure, Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion, is a routine one and the recovery rate is very high.  Back surgery was the last option as Araya could not provide a quality show on the upcoming US Tour with his back pain.

“Tom gave various medical treatments more than a fair shot,” said Slayer’s manager Rick Sales, “but they just haven’t handled the problem, so he’s biting the bullet and is scheduled for back surgery at the end of this month.”

Mr. Sales continued, “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.”

According to Megadeth’s website, both bands are looking to re-schedule the tour for the summer of 2010. All fans with tickets to these shows are asked to hold on to their tickets until both bands announce their plans for the new dates.

Megadeth will be announcing a US solo headlining tour for March and April shortly.
