Metallica will be reuniting with former bassist Jason Newsted when they’re inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame next month.
Newsted acrimoniously split from the Bay Area thrash titans in 2001 and a war of words with frontman James Hetfield ensued. But now it seems all is forgiven and Newsted will be joining the band on stage at the ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio on April 4.
“Jason Newsted will be there, and he will be playing with us at one point,” said guitarist Kirk Hammett. “We went as a band when Black Sabbath was being inducted, and at that time Blondie was also being inducted that night. And there was so many politics and so much drama that, you know, we collectively said to each other, ‘We don’t want any of that,’ because it kind of, it puts a really bad, sour note on the whole celebration itself.”
The band will be inducted by Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea.
