Co-founder/guitarist of Slayer passed away this morning of liver failure. The long time publicist of the band stated this:

“Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home.  He was 49.  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.”

Hope you are shredding your guitar with the other greats that have passed away!! Keep your horns high and we will see you again!
