Slayer-kitaristi Gary Holt on ilmoittanut keskeyttävänsä omalta osaltaan yhtyeen käynnissä olevan Euroopan kiertueen sekä palaavansa Amerikkaan huolehtimaan vakavasti sairaasta ja kuolevasta isästään. Holt ilmoitti asian Instagram–tilillään. Hänen paikkansa viimeisillä neljällä keikalla Suomi mukaan lukien ottaa reilu viikko sitten viimeisen konserttinsa Machine Headissa soittanut Phil Demmel. Holt ilmoittaa palaavansa yhtyeen riveihin maaliskuussa, kun kiertue jatkuu Australiassa.

Slayer päättää kiertueen yhdessä Anthraxin, Lamb Of Godin sekä Obituaryn kanssa Helsingin Jäähalliin ensi lauantaina 8.12.2018.

Demmelin esityksen Slayer-klassikosta ”Raining Blood” vuodelta 2010 saa katseluun alta:

First things first, I want to say thank you to Berlin for the AMAZING show tonight!! BEST CROWD EVER! But what I’ve got to say has been very very hard for me these last ten days or so. My father is very near the end of his journey,I’ve been playing these last several shows with the heaviest of hearts.And with that heavy heart I have to announce I am leaving the Slayer European tour. I must return home to help care for my dad in his final moments. Tonight ended with me in tears while finishing Angel of death. But the crowd brought out the best in me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all. And that having been said, I want EACH AND EVERY Slayer fan to give their biggest screams for Phil Demmel @demmelitionmh !! Bay Area legend!!!
