Metallica to rock on despite quake
- Tweet
Metallica's James Hetfield.
ROCKERS Metallica are refusing to let New Zealand's recent earthquakes stop them from performing for fans there.
Devotees feared three big quakes over the past five days, including a 7.1-magnitude one that hit Christchurch, would prompt Metallica to postpone two sold-out shows set for the city later this month.
But the band insists the shows at the CBS Canterbury Arena - close to the epicentre of the earthquakes - will go ahead as planned on September 21 and 22.
Engineers are currently assessing the 9,000-capacity venue for damage, but bosses insist it doesn't appear the arena has been damaged at all.
