Big 4 New York City Show Announced
The Big 4 — Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax — have announced a show in Bronx, NY at Yankee Stadium on September 14.
Cannibal Corpse guitarist Pat O’Brien will fill in for Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman on the band’s European tour, beginning the April 6 date in Croatia.
In February, Hanneman was forced to sit out immediate touring plans, after being diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, a rare skin infection also known as flesh-eating disease. He has since been temporarily replaced with Exodus guitarist Gary Holt, who will play his last fill in show with the band on April 4 in Padova, Italy.
Hanneman is expected to make a full recovery.
