Metallica Postpones Arizona Concert Due to James Hetfield’s COVID-19 Diagnosis

Metallica, the legendary rock band, has been forced to make a difficult decision regarding their scheduled concert in Arizona due to unforeseen circumstances. The highly anticipated performance, set to take place on Sunday night, had to be postponed after lead singer James Hetfield tested positive for COVID-19.

Fans in Arizona eagerly awaiting Metallica’s concert were met with disappointing news as the band had to make a last-minute change to their plans. James Hetfield’s positive COVID-19 test prompted the postponement of the scheduled performance at Glendale’s State Farm Stadium, with the new date set for September 9.

NIGHT TWO IN GLENDALE IS RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 9!

In a statement issued by the band, Metallica expressed their deep disappointment over the situation and extended their apologies to fans for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling. They eagerly anticipate returning to complete the M72 No Repeat Weekend in Glendale the following Saturday. The statement also highlighted the unfortunate fact that COVID-19 had affected James Hetfield personally, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

Metallica’s M72 tour is known for its dynamic performances, often featuring two shows in each city to provide fans with an unforgettable musical experience. However, the unexpected diagnosis forced a change in their plans, highlighting the unpredictability of the ongoing pandemic.

During their current U.S. tour, Metallica has been treating fans to a setlist of 16 songs per night, with “Master of Puppets” usually serving as the grand finale following the iconic “Seek & Destroy.” Notably, observant concertgoers in Glendale noticed the absence of “Master of Puppets” from the 14-song performance on Friday night. It was only on Saturday that the band made Hetfield’s illness public.

The postponement of Metallica’s Arizona concert serves as a stark reminder of the continued challenges faced by artists and performers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Health and safety remain paramount concerns for everyone involved in the live entertainment industry. Fans eagerly await the rescheduled concert, understanding that the well-being of the band members and the audience takes precedence in these uncertain times.
