“Metallica has been creating music and touring for 45 years, which has allowed us to connect with incredibly passionate fans all over the world. As such, we’ve focused our charitable efforts on helping people in the communities we visit by giving back locally through food banks and shelters, and by sponsoring blood drives. Given the universal need for skilled tradespeople, the logical next step is to expand our workforce education initiatives internationally, starting with bringing our Metallica Scholars Initiative to London. This is only the beginning—as we like to say, we’re just getting started!” - Lars Ulrich

Thanks to the #MetallicaFamily#, “thousands of people across England, Scotland, and Wales have given someone another birthday, another gig, another song in their heart… another chance.” Across the UK, an incredible 27,800 units of blood were donated during our #BleedingMe# Blood Drives! We cannot thank all of you enough for rolling up your sleeves and joining this vital cause. Shoutout to Billy the Blood Drop for making it to London Stadium to catch a gig! #AWMH# #MetallicaGivesBack#

EXCLUSIVE: When Jason Newsted was in @Metallica, he says he can remember only a handful of times when the band ever stopped a show. One was in Canada, when the band found themselves under fire from...darts. "It was maybe the fourth time we ever stopped a show."
