Metallica frontman rushed to hospital

Metallica frontman James Hetfield rushed to hospital due to dehydration (possible food poisoning) one and a half hour before the band's second show in Stockholm sunday night. Metallica cancelled the show. The three other members gave the sold out Stockholm Globe Arena the bad news from on stage (web-tv).

Metallica will return to Sweden to do the cancelled gig in May, according to Lars Ulrich and Live Nation.

Sad fans left the arena. Unenployed Johan Ivebo, 27, had travelled 900 kilometers in his car for the show, and had to turn back home again: ”I have saved money since I heard about the concert, now I have no money left. Of course I'm bitter, but I'm not pissed with Metallica – Hetfield can't play if he's ill. Now I'm going to play a live album with Metallica in the car.”
