METALLICA’S JAMES HETFIELD SHOCKS FANS WITH SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT
In a stunning move, James Hetfield, the iconic lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of Metallica, has announced his retirement from music to pursue a long-held passion for competitive bee keeping.
According to sources close to the musician, Hetfield, 60, has been secretly nurturing a love for apiculture and has decided to trade in his guitar for a beekeeping suit.
“I’m excited to share this new chapter with my family and explore the fascinating world of bees,” Hetfield said in a statement. “It’s a challenge I’ve always wanted to take on, and I feel it’s time to ride off into the sunset… or should I say, into the hive!”
Hetfield’s decision has left fans and fellow band members reeling, with Metallica’s official social media accounts posting a cryptic message: “The Metallica hive is buzzing… stay tuned for updates.”
Lars Ulrich, Metallica’s drummer, expressed his shock and support for Hetfield’s new venture. “James is a true legend, and if this is what he wants to do, we’re all behind him 100%. Who knew Metallica’s sound would lead to a career in beekeeping?”
Hetfield’s plans include establishing a bee sanctuary in Montana and competing in international beekeeping competitions. The news has sparked a mix of sadness and curiosity among fans, with many taking to social media to wish him well and ask for honey samples.
Metallica’s upcoming tour dates are still to be confirmed, with the band yet to announce whether they’ll continue without Hetfield or embark on a new chapter. One thing’s for sure – the music world will be watching this honey-filled journey unfold.
