Metallica not too long ago introduced their new documentary Metallica Saved My Life about their followers, however that title applies fairly actually to at least one household.
David and Kristin McKee, in addition to their daughter Madeleine, went to mattress early on Might 6 in order that they’d be all rested up for the Metallica present at Lane Stadium in Blackburg, VA. Normally the household stays up late to observe TV, however y’know – Metallica is extra vital. That call ended up saving their lives, as a pickup truck slammed into the place their TV room in the course of the early hours of the morning.
“[I asked David] ‘Do you wanna sit up?” And he was like, ‘Nah, I believe I simply wanna go on to mattress.’ I mentioned, ‘I am going to go on to mattress, too,'” mentioned Kristin McKee in an interview with native TV information station WDBJ7. “Then, just some hours later, we heard a loud explosion, glass shattered. It was simply insanity from that time on.”
She continued: “We have been so lucky that, that evening, my daughter might have walked down that hallway and located us within the rubble. I thank God each day, and Metallica, for saving us.”
The household’s house is about to endure development over the following six months to repair the injury attributable to the truck. As for Metallica, they’re saving lives into 2026 with the under tour dates.
Within the meantime, Metallica is on the street taking part in their M72 2025 tour that includes Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies as openers, in addition to Limp Bizkit and Ice 9 Kills. Tickets can be found right here.
