DAVE LOMBARDO On SLAYER’s TOM ARAYA – “He’s Been Wanting To Retire For A Long Time Now”

Former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo guested on Dean Delray’s Let There Be Talk podcast and was asked about Slayer’s final tour and their last ever show, scheduled to take place in November at the Forum in Los Angeles.

Lombardo commented, “Tom (Araya, Slayer bassist, vocalist) has been wanting to retire when I was in the band; he wanted to stop. He had the neck issues. He's been wanting to retire for a long time now. So now that he's got it, I'm happy for him, and I hope he gets what he wants out of life and his future."
