GE DBXR463GBOWW Dryer (gas) cracked drum

My dryer was making one heck of a screech/thunk noise. Tearing it apart shows me that the rear bearing shaft is literally torn off the rear of the drum and the drum is cracked in three places.

I assume this means sudden death for my dryer? Just here to confirm or not before I proceed.

Thank you In advance!

Drum approximately $250 rear bearing probably $20. 
 

But you should also inspect front bearing and glides as well.

They are pretty worn as well. They have be replaced before but looks like they started to eat the shroud before they were so I think she might be done for. It is a lot to invest in this old of a dryer I think.
