The US heavy metal band was due to play concerts in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland next month as part of their Worldwired tour.
The band members said they planned to make their way to Australia and New Zealand “as soon as health and schedule permit.”
We fully intend to make our way to your part of the world as soon as health and schedule permit. We’ll let you know as soon as we can.

Hetfield’s struggle with addiction was seen in the 2004 documentary “Some Kind of Monster” that chronicled the recording of the band’s album “St. Anger.”
Metallica formed in 1981, and it is known for the hits “Enter Sandman,” “Master of Puppets” and “One.”
