Details for Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration Announced

Details on the funeral of Jeff Hanneman have been sparse… nay, non-existant. Presumably the family doesn’t want the service to be overrun by Slayer fans. And who could blame them?

But there is now a public celebration of Jeff’s life being planned for Thursday, May 23rd in Los Angeles, and all are invited to attend on a first-come first-serve basis. According to a press release, “The Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration” will take place on Thursday, May 23 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles from 3:30 – 7:30PM. The event is free and all ages are welcome.

No word yet on what will transpire at this event, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jeff’s bandmates make an appearance. Perhaps there will be musical performances as well, but all this is just speculation.
