METALLICA's JAMES HETFIELD: 'It's Scary How Gullible And Easily Fooled The Press Is!'

METALLICA guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield has released the following statement via the group's official web site:

"In the last few weeks there have been a lot of rumors flying around saying that I was detained by airport security in London while on tour in Europe. I'm here to tell you that it never happened . . . pure fabrication! The story is simply that there is no story. It's scary how gullible and easily fooled the press is!

"With that said, we had a blast out there on the 'Sick of the Studio' tour and big thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and to the crew who made it happen. Now back to the studio…"

Britain's The Times claimed that Hetfield was held and questioned due to what friends called his "Taliban-like beard." According to the paper, the METALLICA singer was briefly questioned before "red-faced" officials realized he was a rock star.
