Slayer to embark on final US tour this fall

According to one Les Claypool, Slayer will embark upon a final U.S. tour that will feature Claypool's band, Primus, as one of the opening acts. The dates (which have yet to be officially revealed) will apparently commence at Madison Square Garden in New York City and conclude at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA. Claypool had this to say amid a recent appearance on Bill Burr's podcast (you can listen below):

"There's another thing too that's kind of a secret but maybe I can tell you now… So it looks like we're confirmed, we're gonna play the last, the very last run supporting Slayer's very last tour, Primus is... It's starting at Madison Square Garden and ending at The Forum, that's the rumor."

Claypool's assertion seems likely given this recent report that Slayer would tour North America one final time in October, November, and December, including a final hometown show in Los Angeles. Stay tuned. [via ThePRP]
