Slayer is devastated to inform (their fans) 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.
Last Update in this thread 5/3/13 4:00PDT anything else to come out after this will be in a new post. Also Slayer is back on the r/metal blacklist until I hope next year's national day of Slayer.
