Metallica’s James Hetfield had problems with addiction again and went to the rehabilitation last year. But now, he announced the first public appearance after the rehab.
Delivering on a promise to lend 10 of his custom cars to an exhibition titled Reclaimed Rust: The James Hetfield Collection. He has confirmed his presence on the opening night of the January 30 event. And is expected to participate in a conversation and help auction off two of his own ESP guitars
The exhibition will take place at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. According to the local executive director, Terry L. Karges, the idea is to unite the artistic bias of the two areas.
“‘Reclaimed Rust’ brings together two industries that go hand in hand with artist expression,” said Petersen Automotive Museum executive director Terry L. Karges in a statement. “This is the first time the Hetfield collection will be showcased to the public and we can’t wait to share the inspiration behind these extraordinary vehicles with the world.”
