Pantera took to social media this morning (December 8th) to mark the 21st anniversary of the on stage murder of lead guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott at a concert in Columbus, OH in 2004.

The band wrote, "It's hard to believe that you have been gone for 21 years. Your influence & energy is still very much alive. We feel it daily. Thanks to all our fans for keeping Dime's legacy going! RIP Dimebag Darrell, Jeffrey Thompson, Erin Halk, & Nathan Bray."

Dimebag was among those murdered by a gunman at the Alrosa Villa where his and his brother Vinnie Paul's post-Pantera band Damageplan were performing.
