U kratkom obraćanju za javnost putem Facebook statusa na oficijelnoj stranici benda, Slayer je prije četiri minute obavijestio svijet da je preminuo dugogodišnji gitarista i osnivač benda Jeff Hanneman. Kako se u statusu navodi, došlo je do zastoja u radu jetre. Da li to ima veze sa ujedom pauka kojeg je Hanneman pretrpio prije dvije godine, ostaje da saznamo u nastavku.
Status Slayera:
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.

Bilo je tu svega vjerovatno od 81. pa na ovamo … pauk je samo malo ubrzao… u svakom slučaju treba pustiti ljudinu da u miru počiva. m/ Jeff Henneman m/
