“Metallica has been creating music and touring for 45 years, which has allowed us to connect with incredibly passionate fans all over the world. As such, we’ve focused our charitable efforts on helping people in the communities we visit by giving back locally through food banks and shelters, and by sponsoring blood drives. Given the universal need for skilled tradespeople, the logical next step is to expand our workforce education initiatives internationally, starting with bringing our Metallica Scholars Initiative to London. This is only the beginning—as we like to say, we’re just getting started!” - Lars Ulrich
