James Hetfield, the iconic frontman of Metallica, found a creative way to celebrate his 61st birthday, much to the delight of his fans. In a video shared on Metallica’s Instagram account, Hetfield can be seen inhaling helium from a birthday balloon and then launching into a high-pitched version of the band’s classic song, “Enter Sandman.”
The video starts with Hetfield singing Happy Birthday to himself, followed by a comical announcement: “Hello everyone. I am 61 years old. Did you know that?”. What comes next is an unexpected and amusing rendition of Enter Sandman, where Hetfield’s usual growl transforms into a chipmunk-like squeak, causing him to burst into laughter.
Despite the lighthearted moment, Hetfield and Metallica are showing no signs of slowing down. The band is currently on a global tour in support of their latest album, 72 Seasons. The tour features a new in-the-round stage design, with the famous “snake pit” now positioned in the middle, offering fans a 360-degree view of the show. Each city on the tour will have two performances with completely different setlists, promising a unique experience for concert-goers.
