Due to me KICKING HIS ASS in Halo 3 online (link), Tom Araya has injured his back. I apologize to all fellow Slayer fans for this. It isn't my faul the got so into the match that he hurt his back.

Slayer will have to cancel all their North American tour dates with Testament and Megadeth. The real reason for canceling the tour is Tom Araya began having back issues in that penal colony known as Australia. Upon returning home Tom saw an orthopedic specialist who diagnosed acervical radiculopathy. The rocker initially did not want to take the major surgery route, so the specialist recommended a series of minimally-invasive procedures. While those procedures have resulted in some improvement, Araya continues to deal with intermittent bouts of severe pain, numbness and muscle spasms.
