Friends Sends Touching Birthday Messages For James Hetfield
August 3 was the birthday of Metallica frontman James Hetfield. As he has tons of friends in the community, some of them, including bandmates, sent special birthday messages for him.
Born in 1963, James Hetfield is a 59-year-old rock musician who found his musical inspiration and started playing the piano when he was nine years old. When he reached 14, he finally began to play guitar with Robert Okner. This was the birth of a legend. Because he was going to start to form his world-famous band Metallica 4 years after he learned to play the guitar.
When we reached 1981, James Hetfield aspired to form a band with his bandmate Lars Ulrich, who is the drummer of the band. Having managed to realize this dream in the early 80s, Hetfield became one of the most important parts of the band. Since then, he has contributed to Metallica‘s entire stuff, as he is the songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist of the band.
Sharing the stage with those huge artists during those 41 years, James Hetfield has established great friendships with the artists featuring Lemmy Kilmister, Ozzy Osbourne, his old bandmate Dave Mustaine, Scott Ian, Alice In Chains, and Queen.
The day has come, and some of those friends have updated their social media accounts to celebrate the birthday of James Hetfield. Scott Ian, Metallica’s official pages, Gary Holt, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, and Lars Ulrich were those artists who sent special messages to him.
“Hey friends it’s James’ birthday,” Scott Ian said. “Happy birthday my friend! What an incredible trip it’s been! Cheers brother! #jameshetfield @metallica on the right – @rosshalfin.”
