Rolling Stone: Metallica Want Your Blood
Well, kinda: the rock band will link up with the American Red Cross for blood drives on their upcoming tour.
No, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich aren’t vampires (allegedly) — but they do want your blood. On Monday, Metallica announced that it will link up with the American Red Cross to motivate fans to donate blood during several of their M72 World Tour stops this spring and summer.
Led by the band’s All Within My Hands foundation, fans can give blood in exchange for a limited-edition t-shirt prior to the group’s headlining stadium shows. Among the cities included in the initiative are Nashville, Arlington, Denver, Houston, Atlanta, and Santa Clara, California.
