Slayer - Gig Tonight August 3 In Tilburg Is On. Kerry King Has Recovered Sufficiently


Slayer's gig tonight (August 2nd) in Tilburg, The Netherlands, was cancelled shortly before Slayer was to take the stage. Apparently guitarist Kerry King was taken to hospital.

No further details are known, as of yet. We'll keep you posted on whether or not tomorrow's gig will still be on and what eactly happened to Kerry King.


UPDATE:

According to the venue site, Kerry King has been taken to the hospital due to dehydration caused by food poisoning earlier this week. The other Tilburg gig on Tuesday August 3rd will, for now, go on as planned.


UPDATE:

Kerry King has recovered enough for tonight's (August 3rd) gig to be on. Tickets to yesterday's cancelled gig will remain valid for a replacement gig in the near future, of which the date will still have to confirmed.

Slayer and The Netherlands are a bad combination currently it seems.
The gig tonight was due to the fact it has been cancelled on two occassions last year.

Slayer has had some health problems recently, which really sucks (I'm taking into account Tom Araya's back surgeries several months ago). Best of wishes to Kerry King and the Slayer band.

That must have been one hell of a food poisoning to bring down Kerry King. He's a beast of a man. Not worried though, I'm sure he'll be back to raging onstage soon.

Just a reminder though, that we're all mortal... Let's not take our favorite bands and musicians for granted.

Well, food poisoning can sometimes be dangerous, but it sounds like Kerry will be okay. xD

In their last gig in June in London, which was cancelled twice due to Araya's back injury, someone was injured during the gig and needed to be hospitalised. The gig was stopped for more than 30 mins. Bad luck is following Slayer everywhere it seems.

Speaking of "colossal failures", how about a failed attempt at a joke. The album was recorded over a year ago. He would've been in the hospital a longggg time ago if the album caused his illness.
