Metallica shares heartbreaking tribute to fan who died at the band’s Edmonton concert last week
In the spirit of James Hetfield, who recently shared his thoughts on the title of Metallica’s latest album, 72 Seasons, I find myself pondering over my own “72 seasons” and the profound impact they have had on shaping who I am today. Just as he mentioned, those early years are crucial in forming our true or false selves, and I can certainly attest to that!
Metallica paid tribute to a fan who sadly died at their show in Edmonton, Alberta, last Friday, with an emotional post on Instagram.
As an unabashed fanatic, I’d rephrase it like this: “I’m all about that legendary heavy metal band, the one with James Hetfield on vocals and guitar, Lars Ulrich manning the drums, Kirk Hammett ripping it up on another guitar, and Robert Trujillo keeping the rhythm on bass. They even took a moment to share a photo of their dedicated fan, Lorne ‘Viking.'”
On Friday, August 23rd, in Edmonton, one of Metallica’s family members passed away during the concert, as the band wrote.
‘He died due to health conditions. Leaving the earthly body and onto the next adventure.’
To sum up, the somber declaration stated, ‘It’s truly heartbreaking when someone passes away, but it brings us comfort to know that he shared some of his last, presumably happy moments with us.’
Afterward, the band extended their sympathies to the family and loved ones of Lorne ‘Viking.’ Warmly, Metallica.
On Tuesday, an acquaintance of ‘Viking’ posted on social media to share the sad news of his passing, which occurred during a concert due to a sudden health complication.
On Friday evening at the Edmonton concert, my friend Lorne experienced a medical emergency and had to be removed from the crowd on a stretcher as EMS administered intense CPR, according to his post on Facebook.
Regardless of everyone’s best attempts, Lorne couldn’t make it through. The overwhelming displays of sympathy and goodwill from those who knew him as a friend, somehow help ease the sense of emptiness and isolation we are experiencing.
“A big thank you to everyone who attended the concert, you were graced by a truly remarkable person. We fondly knew him as Viking, such a kind-hearted soul he was. His absence will be deeply felt and mourned.”
The post ended by saying, ‘Let’s turn on some Metallica and give a toast to the Viking! Rest in peace, my friend.’
At a Metallica concert in Baltimore, back in 2000, tragedy struck during the Summer Sanitorium Tour as a fan sadly lost their life after falling from the venue.
This musical collective, established in Los Angeles back in 1981, is right now in the heart of their M72 World Tour, a series of concerts supporting their upcoming 2023 album titled “72 Seasons”. Their tour will conclude next month on September 29th.
This coming weekend, Metallica is set to perform at Lumen Stadium in Seattle, specifically on Friday, August 30, followed by another show on Sunday, September 1.
After that, the heavy metal group is set to play an extra four shows in Mexico City, marking the end of their global tour.
The group will be performing at the AWMH Helping Hands Concert and Auction in Los Angeles on December 13 as well.
72 Seasons debuted a year ago, on April 14th, and has since made its mark on numerous international music charts. It claimed the top spot on the US Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and reached the second position on the US Billboard 200.
In a recent interview on their own website, James Hetfield – who expressed the view that rock music has reached its end – elaborated on the significance of the title for the new album.
‘Well, 72 seasons, as a concept, that’s been digested from somewhere else. Meaning it was a concept – it was the “72 seasons of sorrow,” and I dropped the “sorrow” part off because the first 18 years of life aren’t all sorrow.’
The performer commented, ‘In our maturity, we often zero in on rectifying past issues from childhood, thinking something along the lines of, “I must correct what went wrong when I was younger.”‘
Additionally, there were many valuable aspects, and each person interprets their 72 seasons uniquely based on their personal experiences.
Later on, Hetfield shared, “Clinging to the past hasn’t benefited me, but reinterpreting my childhood experiences has proven beneficial. This is an ongoing endeavor for a lifetime.”
Back when they unleashed their first single, “Lux Æterna,” I couldn’t help but feel my heart race with excitement! And as if that wasn’t enough, James himself revealed a statement about the band’s upcoming 11th studio album, according to Rolling Stone. I simply can’t wait to hear more!
He started telling his followers, “The initial 18 years of our lives, which shape who we truly are – real or false – can be thought of as 72 seasons.”
The idea that our parents defined for us who we are as individuals. This could potentially limit us to certain character traits based on their perception.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d say, “In my opinion, what makes this truly captivating is the ongoing exploration of those fundamental beliefs and their impact on our contemporary viewpoint of the world.”
A significant part of our adult lives often involves reliving or responding to our childhood experiences. Some find themselves trapped by their childhood, while others strive to break free from the ties that bind them.
