“As a few of you may know, we’ve been working behind the scenes the last couple of years on a new film that will be released later this year starring you guys!” said Metallica of the film. “Metallica Saved My Life explores our world through the lives of fans who have supported each other through highs, lows, trials, and triumphs for over four decades. And yeah, we’re in it a little bit too.

“You have the chance to view the film first with a sneak peek at theaters in most of our upcoming tour stops in North America. It’s not quite finished yet, but we can’t wait for you to see it and let us know what you think. Brought to you by award-winning director Jonas Åkerlund, who many fans know from his work with us on ‘Turn The Page’, ‘Whiskey In The Jar’ and ‘ManUNkind’, the film will introduce you to fans from all corners of the world and tell their unique stories. You might even be in it!

“Tickets are available now in all tour cities except Columbus and are limited to two per person. We’ll keep a close eye on sales and add screenings where possible should your city sell out quickly. If the film is not coming to your city or you can’t make it this time, never fear; the full documentary is expected to be released later this year.

“To all the fans who so generously gave us their time and let us into their lives, we say ‘thank you.’ This film is all about YOU!”
