James Hetfield, the iconic frontman of Metallica, has always shown his softer side and love for his family. Despite Metallica’s history of selling out arenas worldwide, this particular performance stands out. In a heartfelt moment, Hetfield teamed up with his daughter, Cali, to perform a touching rendition of Adele’s “Crazy For You.”
The warmth and emotion shared between father and daughter captivated both the live audience and over four and a half million YouTube viewers. Cali’s soulful voice was a delight, while Hetfield’s acoustic guitar slowed things down beautifully. Watch the performance below:
This performance wasn’t just a heartwarming moment; it carried significant meaning. The event took place during “Acoustic-4-A-Cure,” a concert founded by Hetfield and Sammy Hagar to raise funds and awareness for the Pediatric Cancer Program at UCSF. The concert has featured big names like Billie Joe Armstrong, Jerry Cantrell, and Pat Monahan.
Metallica is one of the most successful and influential metal bands in history, with a career spanning over four decades. Their timeless hits have influenced countless musicians, and their classic albums are some of the defining moments in metal history. Check out their music below:
In addition to their global fanbase, Metallica has earned international recognition for their impact on the music industry. With multiple Grammy Awards, particularly between 1990 and 1992, they won ‘Best Metal Performance’ for hits like “One,” “Stone Cold Crazy,” and their self-titled album Metallica.
Though Metallica’s lineup has remained relatively consistent over the years, a few key changes stand out. Bassist Cliff Burton, an influential figure in the metal community, greatly contributed to the success of their 1984 album Ride the Lightning before his untimely death in 1986. Dave Mustaine was also briefly part of Metallica before leaving to form the legendary thrash band Megadeth.
