Metallica’s James Hetfield congratulates fan who gave birth at Brazil concert
Fan was wheeled to the medical tent and gave birth as the band closed the show with ‘Enter Sandman’
Metallica frontman James Hetfield personally called a fan to congratulate her after she gave birth during the band’s concert in Brazil.
Tattoo artist Joice M Figueiró was 39 weeks pregnant when she and her husband attended one of the band’s shows on their six-date South American tour, on Saturday 7 May.
While watching from the handicap area of the stadium, she said contractions began soon after the headliners began their set.
“Since it wasn’t planned, I was scared that the medical team wouldn’t be ready,” Figueiró told The Washington Post.
According to the new mother, she tried to hold on for as long as she could, but contractions became too strong and she was wheeled to a medical tent.
“Luan Figueiró came into the world on 05/07/2022 at 23:15 shaking all the metal structures,” Figueiró wrote on Instagram.
Shortly after, the couple received a call from Hetfield, which she recorded for her Instagram, telling followers that the conversation lasted seven minutes and she had “no more words”.
