According to a report by Billboard, a California judge has ruled that Lloyd’s Of London is not liable to cover Metallica’s insurance claim for financial losses suffered when the band was forced to postpone six shows in 2020 because of the pandemic. The lawsuit stemmed from the cancelation of Metallica’s six-date tour of South America in April 2020 with Greta Van Fleet.
