From the Slayer camp:
It is with great regret that Slayer announces the postponement of its Canadian Carnage"our with MEGADETH, which was due to begin on November 8th.
In addition, the band announces the postponement of its appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which had been set for this Wednesday, November 4th. More information will be released shortly regarding the rescheduling of the Canadian dates, as well as the Kimmel appearance.
Slayer's Tom Araya is currently under the care of a specialist for a back injury, thought to be related to his on-stage activity, and the physician has ordered an immediate surgical procedure to take place in Texas tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
"What is foremost in our minds right now is that Tom do whatever he needs to to get this taken care of," said Slayer's Kerry King. "While all four of us are disappointed that we won't be able to see through all of our commitments set for the next few weeks, the most important thing is Tom's health. We thank the fans in Canada and here in L.A., the Megadeth camp, and everyone associated with Jimmy Kimmel Live for their understanding. We look forward to seeing you all soon."

CRUNK - 11/10/2009 4:52:06 PM Tom Araya is a total and complete douchbag, but that sucks that he has to get back surgery.... Been there, done that, it sucks.
blueflamer - 11/9/2009 12:19:11 PM Saw 'em at a battle of the bands at the Troubador...along with some gaywad band featuring a masked singer. The Country Club...saw many interesting shows there, including one with a 400-lb Jerry Garcia just days away from a coma. Good times.
3cardpkr - 11/9/2009 12:08:58 PM saw them back in '83-'84 at the country club in Reseda, when Kerry had hair and wore spikes. They aint spring chickens any more.....
iced666 - 11/5/2009 1:21:08 AM Get well soon Tom! And then hurry your ass over to Europe!
JDWheels - 11/4/2009 5:54:03 PM Get well soon, Tom... Real metalheads need real musicians!! And to the one who suggested stryper... Get a life... they are about as metal as Pink.
kodiak581 - 11/4/2009 7:43:43 AM Tal vez Kerry puede dar a Tom un suero Satánico para ayudar con su asno (quiero decir) su dolor de cuello. déjelo para el CV y la Puerta. ¡sí podemos!
Mummyman - 11/3/2009 8:36:54 PM I love how every fuck gets a hold of news of this nature and thinks they have a bead on shit. The man strained his back...nothing more, nothing less. Even if Tom just stood on stage and told nursery rhymes with a back injury it would probably be rough going and when you are a professional giving less than a 100% isn't an option. Get well Tom
QueefySuthy - 11/3/2009 1:53:56 PM Yes, Get wll soon Tom
The_Space_Lord - 11/3/2009 12:49:32 PM The tour's been postponed. Not cancelled. Even so, regardless of what your perception is of Slayer (either as a tough Satanic band or otherwise), remember that on very rare occasions have the band ever had to cancel a concert let alone an entire tour during their 25-year career.
BitchOfASon - 11/2/2009 9:40:30 PM Get well Tom...Slayer!!
