Slayer have announced that they have to postpone their U.K. and European tour that had been scheduled to begin on November 18 in the U.K. and end on December 17 in Germany. 

The reason is Tom Araya’s problem with his back after an injury and although the singer/bassist’s situation has already improved, he’s continuing with doctor-prescribed treatment and focusing on recovering permanently, which is also what the rest of the band wants. The tour will be rescheduled to kick off on March 7 in Manchester, U.K. You can check the new UK/Europe schedule on the band’s official website.
