The guitarist in Slayer has died of liver failure today aged 49, the thrash metal band announced today.
A statement on the band's Facebook page said: "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. Our Brother Jeff Hanneman, May He Rest In Peace (1964 - 2013)."
Absolutely gutted. One of my biggest inspirations and one of the main reasons why I love the music I love. RIP to a genuine legend, a huge miss to the music world.
