Metallica has announced their previously scheduled show for September 3rd in Glendale Arizona will now take place on September 9th after James Hetfield has contracted COVID-19. According to published reports, Metallica played an abbreviated set for night one on September the 1st, due to vocal problems from Hetfield. That resulted in a truncated set and some songs omitted entirely. The band is on their North American M72 world tour supporting their 72 Seasons (Blackened Recordings) album, out now!
