The final show of Slayer’s farewell tour on Saturday was a bittersweet moment for the metal community, and celebrities and metal musicians gathered to pay their respects to the thrash legends. Actor Jason Momoa was among those in attendance, even appearing onstage with his son during Philip Anselmo & The Illegals’ opening performance of Pantera’s “This Love”.
“Going on stage and yelling love love LOVE with my baby boy and pantera. aka@philiphanselmo and the illegals my mind was blown F*CKIN BLOWN,” Momoa wrote in an Instagram post. “I was living out my childhood dreams. I am so thankful for those moments shared with dear friends and my babies.”
Momoa has been a visible fixture in the metal scene, previously mentioning bands like Metallica, Pantera, and Tool as inspirations for his acting roles, which include the title character in Aquaman and Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones. He even brought in a death metal singer for vocal training for his role on the new Apple TV series See.
