SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo has told Classic Rock magazine that the band's upcoming U.K. tour is definitely happening.There have been fears that, following bassist/vocalist Tom Araya's recent back operation, these dates might have to be cancelled.Says Lombardo: "We did have to put out of a Canadian tour with MEGADETH because of Tom's situation. But, as far as I'm aware, the British shows will go ahead. Of course, Tom's health must take priority. However, he's making good progress, so we'll see everyone soon!"
