During a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Slayer’s manager Rick Sales was asked if he could see the band changing their minds about retirement. He responded by saying he is “not sensing that at all.”
Sales said the following about the band’s decision to retire:
“They’ve been doing this for so long. They just said, ‘Okay, this is enough.’ My analogy is Jerry Seinfeld, who had probably the biggest TV show when he went out on top. I respect the band for the decision. If you’re going to do it, this is the way.”
He also added that he doesn’t see them changing their minds:
“I’m not sensing that at all. Let’s put the touring to bed. I’ve got a couple of ideas [for future projects], but we haven’t made any decisions. Right now, they’re preoccupied with the end, and I imagine it’s emotional. It’s emotional for me.”
This news comes after Sales previously said Slayer’s farewell run “doesn’t mean the end of the band.”
Here’s the group’s final shows:
11/26 Oakland, CA – Oracle Arena
11/27 Las Vegas, NV – MGM Arena
11/29 Inglewood, CA – The Forum
11/30 Inglewood, CA – The Forum
