GNR-Metallica Rose Bowl Date Postponed

The Guns N’ Roses-Metallica show scheduled for Aug. 22 at the Rose Bowl has been postponed due to hand and arm burns suffered by Metallica singer-guitarist James Hetfield during a concert last Saturday in Montreal.

No new date has been announced, though promoters say that late September is likely. Refund arrangements will be announced when a new date has been set.

Shows scheduled for Monday in Vancouver, Tuesday in Seattle and Thursday in Oakland have also been postponed, as was one that had been planned for yesterday at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium.
