Metallica suspendió su gira internacional

Metallica anunció la cancelación de las siguientes ocho fechas de su WorldWired Tour, programadas para octubre y noviembre en Australia y Nueva Zelanda. LLa razon de está decisión es que el cantante James Hetfield debió ingresar en rehabilitación por su adicción al alcohol.

El resto del grupo, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett y Robert Trujillo, publicaron un comunicado en el que anuncian la decisión y piden disculpas a los fans. En el mismo se señala que se reembolsará a todos los fanáticos que ya contaban con entradas para los conciertos.

La exitosa banda tenía conciertos programados en cinco ciudades de Australia entre el 17 y 29 de octubre y posteriormente otros dos recitales en Nueva Zelanda. De acuerdo al comunicado, Hetfield ha tenido “problemas de adicciones durante años y reingresó a un programa de tratamiento”.

A Note from Lars, Kirk, and Rob ・・・ We are truly sorry to inform our fans and friends that we must postpone our upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand. ・・・ As most of you probably know, our brother James has been struggling with addiction on and off for many years. He has now, unfortunately, had to re-enter a treatment program to work on his recovery again. ・・・ We fully intend to make our way to your part of the world as soon as health and schedule permit. We’ll let you know as soon as we can. Once again, we are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who often travel great distances to experience our shows. We appreciate your understanding and support for James and, as always, thank you for being a part of our Metallica family. ・・・ All tickets purchased to the shows in Australia and New Zealand, including Enhanced Experiences and Black Tickets, will be fully refunded.  Links to more details on how to obtain your refund are posted on Metallica.com.
