Former Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph has rejoined the band.

“Paul’s a great drummer and a good friend, and we’re very happy that he’s decided to rejoin the band,” said Tom Araya. “We’re still pretty numb from the loss of Jeff, but we don’t want to disappoint our European and South American fans, and we need to begin moving forward…having Paul back in the band makes that a whole lot easier.”

Bostaph replaces drummer Dave Lombardo, who was booted from the group in February.
