Vocalist/bassist Tom Araya has been under the
care of a specialist for a back injury, and while he
has already made substantial improvement, he
is continuing on with doctor-prescribed treatment.

"Right now," said Slayer's manager, Rick Sales,
"our main concern must be the full and
permanent recovery of Tom, so we have decided
to clear the calendar and give him the extra time
he needs to concentrate
solely on good health.".......full story
