Slayer Frontman Araya’s First Interview Since Surgery
Slayer Frontman Tom Araya recently broke his silence with his first post-surgery interview on Noisecreep.com.
Tom Araya was experiencing severe back pain as a result of decades of headbanging –his signature helicopter and figure eight style headbanging–and the abnormal positioning of injured discs in he neck. Last fall Slayer had abruptly stopped their highly anticipated Carnage Tour with Megadeth and Testament. The band made this decision due to Tom Araya needing back surgery.
Araya is already benefiting from the surgery and states he felt immediately felt the difference. It has only been a few months since the procedure, and Tom is recovering well. He’s anxious to get back on the road. The complete interview features more details of Tom’s surgery and the plans Slayer has for upcoming Carnage dates.
The surgery was not an end for Slayer or Tom, who will continue to sing and play bass, but keep the headbanging to a minimum. Slayer tickets from the previous tour may be honored at the rescheduled shows, but you should check with your local venue to be sure.
