SLAYER Frontman's Sister Dies Of Cancer

June 3, 2009

Anamaria Araya, the older sister of SLAYER bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, died on June 1 after a 13-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 55 years old.

Says her daughter Andrea: "First of all, I would like to say thank you for your continued support and comforting words. I appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and helping hands.

"At this moment I would like to extend an invitation to join my family and I in the celebration of my mom's life. I've found peace in knowing she is resting on a comfortable cloud where she won't feel any more pain and breathing comes without tubes.

"It'd be nice to share each other's company at any moment you are able to attend."
