Slayer guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, passed away due to liver failure today
Jeff Hanneman, guitarist for legendary thrash metal band Slayer, has died of liver failure. He was 49. The band posted the news on their website and Facebook page Thursday. Hanneman founded the band with fellow guitarist Kerry King in 1981 and created a sound influenced by heavy metal and punk, writing Slayer classics like “Raining Blood” and “Angel of Death.”
The full statement on Slayer’s website reads:
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.
In 2011, Hanneman suffered a spider bite and contracted a flesh-eating disease, taking time off from the band to recuperate, but it is unclear if this contributed to his death.
Sucks dude. Slayer were well past their best but i'd always hoped that Jeff would get back with them for a farewell tour. I saw them many times live but not without him there. I doubt it would be the same. Id like to see King disband Slayer now but doubt it will happen.
Will be spinning a few extra Slayer tracks at my club night on Sat for sure. RIP Jeff \m/
