Hetfield vecht al jaren tegen de drankduivel en andere verslavingen. "Het spijt ons oprecht dat we onze fans en vrienden moeten meedelen dat we de geplande tournee door Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland moeten uitstellen", aldus Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett en Robert Trujillo.
Geld terug
Van 17 oktober tot 2 november waren er zes optredens vastgelegd in Australië en twee in Nieuw-Zeeland. Fans die al een ticket kochten, krijgen hun geld terug.
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.

Once again, we are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who travel great distances to experience our shows. We appreciate your understanding and support for James & thank you for being a part of our Metallica family.
