Slayer guitarist Gary Holt has announced that he will leave the band's European tour to stay with his father, who is ill. "My father is very close to the end of his journey," he said, "I have played these last few shows with a heavy heart and with this heart that I announce that I am leaving the Slayer tour in Europe. I need to go home to help take care of my dad in his closing moments. " Phil Demmel, who just played his last show with Machine Head, was called in to replace Holt in upcoming shows. He will make his debut with Slayer this Monday, 3, in Denmark. Slayer performs in Europe in the coming days as part of the group's farewell tour. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5t1LTAJg5/?utm_source=ig_embed See Slayer 2018/2019 tour dates: DEC 5 WED Hovet Stockholm, Sweden DEC 6 THU Oslo Spektrum Arena Oslo, Norway DEC 8 SAT Helsinki Ice Hall Helsinki, Finland MAR 7 THU Brisbane Riverstage Brisbane, Australia MAR 9 SAT Download Festival Sydney, Australia MAR 11 MON Download Festival Melbourne, Australia MAR 13 WED Adelaide Entertainment Centre Adelaide, Australia MAR 15 FRI Eventfinda Stadium Auckland, New Zealand MAR 17 SUN Horncastle Arena Christchurch, New Zealand MAR 21 THU Download Festival Chiba Prefecture, Japan MAR 23 SAT Pulp Summer Slam Manila, Philippines JUN 4 TUE Gliwice Arena Gliwice, Poland JUN 8 SAT Rock Am Ring Nürburg, Germany JUN 8 SAT Rock im Park Nord, Germany JUN 11 TUE Sports Arena Budapest, Hungary JUN 13 THU Arena Leipzig Leipzig, Germany JUN 14 FRI Download Festival Castle Donington, United Kingdom JUN 19 WED Geneva Arena Le Grand-saconnex, Switzerland JUN 21 FRI Graspop Metal Meeting Dessel, Belgium JUN 22 SAT Hellfest Clisson, France JUN 25 TUE Tipsport Arena Praha, Czech Republic JUL 3 WED Resurrection Fest Viveiro, Spain JUL 5 FRI Heavy Rock Festival Stadium Restelo Lisbon, Portugal JUL 7 SUN Rock the Castle Vérone, Italy AUG 3 SAT Messegelände Balingen Balingen, Germany See more News
