Organizers say 16,000 fans of the heavy metal group Metallica had to leave the Stockholm Globe Arena without seeing their heroes perform after lead singer James Hetfield was taken to the hospital.
Spokeswoman Carolina Satterwall says Hetfield caught a stomach bug Sunday and suffered dehydration but left the hospital that evening. He has returned to the United States with the rest of the band.
The fans found out about the cancellation minutes before the concert was due to start, when the other members came onstage to deliver the news.
Drummer Lars Ulrich said the band members were "truly, truly, truly sorry."
"Trust me, none of you guys wanna hear me, Rob or Kirk sing," he added, referring to bassist Robert Trujillo and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett. "Really, it is the only thing that could have made our last few albums suck more than they did."

Metallica singer Hetfield hospitalized in Sweden
Putting the broad back into broadcasting.
Re: Metallica singer Hetfield hospitalized in Sweden
The music makes good mosh-pitting, but I don't know about this this Hetfield fellow. I heard a song he sang called "So What" where he said he had sex with a goat and then rammed his cock right down the throat. Now don't get ideas. Please don't stick your rock-n'-roller cock in my stinky goat-ass or in my throat.
