Metallica Cancels

Metallica was forced to cancel their second on two shows in Stockholm this past weekend. Lead singer James Hetfield has gotten really sick and he was even taken to the hospital. The band’s rep is blaming the illness on dehydration, the result of a stomach bug they claim affected him right before the start of the concert. The rest of the band only got on stage to inform fans that the show was being canceled. Drummer Lars Ulrich took the mic and said “As you can see, one of us is missing tonight.” He added how they were sorry for the literal last minute cancellation. Lars continued saying “Trust me, none of you guys wanna hear me, Rob [Trujillo] or Kirk [Hammett] sing.” It sucks for the 16,000 people in attendance but fortunately for them, the band posted a message on their website recently saying that the show will be rescheduled sometime this spring.
