James Hetfield acquired emotional throughout Metallica’s latest efficiency in Brazil, thanking his bandmates for serving to to elevate him up throughout a bout of insecurity.
“I’ve gotta let you know I wasn’t feeling excellent earlier than I got here out right here,” the frontman admitted to greater than 60,000 followers assembled on the Estádio do Mineirão on Could 12. “[I was] feeling a little bit bit insecure, like I am an outdated man, cannot play anymore, all this bullshit that I inform myself in my head. So I talked to those guys, and so they helped me — so simple as that. They gave me a hug and stated, ‘Hey, when you’re struggling on stage, we have got your again.’ And I let you know, it means the world to me.”
At that time, all of Hetfield’s bandmates approached him on stage for one more group hug, drawing cheers from the group. Clearly touched by the gesture, the frontman as soon as once more addressed the viewers.
“Seeing you on the market, I’m not alone. I’m not alone, and neither are you.”
From there, Metallica launched into their traditional tune “Unhappy However True.” Watch movies of the speech and efficiency under.
Hetfield has been open prior to now about his struggles with alcoholism and his personal psychological well being. In 2019, Metallica canceled a deliberate tour of Australia and New Zealand so the singer might return to rehab for the primary time in years.
Extra not too long ago, Hetfield admitted he’d been focussing on taking good care of himself, together with “asking for what you want, asking when you may also help, connecting to the world in numerous methods. … [I have] much more information about myself and my relationship with the world.”
