Hanneman founded Slayer with Kerry King, Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo in 1981. Hanneman was a member of the band for 30 years before a spider-bite took him out of action. He died officially from Cirrhosis on May 2, 2013 at the age of 49.

Jeff Hanneman was married to his wife Kathy for 30 years.

The Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration at the Hollywood Palladium is expected to wrap up around 7:30pm.
