Der Rhytmusgitarrist der US- Thrash Legende Slayer, Jeff Hanneman (2. von links auf dem Bild) ist gestern in einem Krankenhaus in California nahe seines Wohnortes an Leberversagen verstorben.
Hanneman war Gründungsmitglied in jener Band der Big Four die uns den Thrash Metal brachte.
Ein Offizielles Statement von der Bandpage (www.slayer.net):
„Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home. Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry, and will be sorely missed.
