Anthrax's Charlie Benante Explains Absence From Slayer Tour
. Benante reveals in an open letter to fans that the reason that he is missing the dates, with Jon Dette filling in for him, is because he is still having some issues with the recovery from his previous Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery. He writes, "I want to let all of our fans know what the situation is with my being or not being on the road with the band. Most of you know I had to have hand surgery a couple of years ago for the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that I developed. Since then, I've continued to have regular physical therapy and doctor's office visits, and while my hand has gotten a lot better, it just hasn't fully healed. My doctor says it could continue to get better, but that's going to take as much time as it takes. "When we were recording our new album, I realized that after three or four weeks straight in the studio, playing every day, not only would my hand start hurting like hell, but I would lose all feeling in it for a couple of days. And the same with being on the road - I seem to be OK for a couple of weeks, but after that, the carpal tunnel flares up, the pain sets in, my hand goes numb, and I simply cannot play the drums, especially with the intensity that Anthrax's music requires.
