Damn this was unexpected. Just goes to show no matter how much time passes, differences can still tear two people apart.
Wow, you should, like, write a book or something
@@fclefjefff4041 you should also write one, because your comment is truly inspiring.
@@fclefjefff4041 oh you're too kind 😏
James spent most of his marriage drunk. I ain't putting him down for it, but what I'm saying is he saw his life and his entire marriage thru beer goggles. Everything looks better thru beer goggles.
@@fclefjefff4041Like, write a book about how polo shirts and seatbelts can save marriages. Like, for realz
i know that feeling of getting clean and sober and not realizing who you are or what you really want in life. it's quite scary feeling like you've lost your true self. hang in there james it all gets returned.
Wise man
🖤🖤🖤
I felt exactly like that when I got out my depression
He's been sober before...this isn't his first rodeo.
Yeah, I'm lost too. 😭
Sad news but 25 years is a long time and that is something to be proud of. I wish James and his family the best. From a Metallica fan since 2008.
more like 30 years as they met in 92
My parents divorced after 28 yrs of marriage. The sad part is my mother died of cancer just 3 yrs after. All that depression and stress got to her and killed her.
There’s nothing to be proud of…
2008 too🤘
Right, and they have 3 grown healthy Kids, so....25 years well spent, or so It seems
I wish James Hetfield and Metallica best of luck for the future and hope things get better for all of them.
Love is a four letter word
And never spoken hereeeah!
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison!
Damn ..
I am THE TABLE!
Holup, have his marital struggles really been happening constantly since the 2000s? Was "The Day That Never Comes" a cry for help or something? Damn!
I was at the Buffalo show (Hallmark Stadium) two nights ago, and he stopped in the middle of Fade to Black to talk about suicide and how we all know someone who's been affected by it, or by those thoughts at least. I just figured it was within the context of the song, I hope he's ok. But it did sound like a positive message he was trying to convey.
He does that a lot during Fade to Black during many concerts. It probably isn't different in this case.
@@Omar_E11 he never talk about Suicide ever during that song ever. Hope he ok as person who try to committ Suicide fail couldn't pull the trigger
@@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987 not sure quite what you meant by that, but he basically said if you're feeling that way, that someone out there loves you. That there are people you can talk to. So it was positive.
@@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987 Yes. Yes he has.
If James Hetfield feels insecure jamming on stage with the Metallica boys, just imagine how insecure the rest of us feel playing guitar alone in the living room
I don't know man I think you're the only one who gets insecure playing alone in the living room 🫥
Divorce can be a life shattering event, but you'll be a stronger man when you come out on the other side of it. Having a marriage fail doesn't make you a failure. You're a good man, so try to move on and have a good life. Your Metallica family will be always be be here for you. We pray for you always Papa Het.
Well said. But is it really a failure if they both seem to be on good terms and have made a decision that ultimately seems best for them as a family? It’s painful to get divorced after so many years together, but this ultimately sounds like a success if a divorce had to happen. I’m sure they tried to make it work knowing what big hearts Het and his wife have had for all these years, but I just don’t think his wife would want him to stay in a marriage that ultimately wasn’t making him happy. She loves him enough to make the sacrifice to let him go in an effort to help Het find his happiness and have a family that isn’t broken by a divorce.
I hope their entire family will come above their new phase of life stronger for this divorce and will ultimately be uplifted by it.
how could you possibly know he is a good man?
@shay_nee46 Aww nicely said, thanks, dear for your love and support towards me and my band, I appreciate it, it keeps us going. What's your favorite of our songs?

@@jamesalanhetfield1375 oh man, imagine if that really is JH, in his human form. Damn..
damn i know from clips here and there that he's been going through a bit of a tough time recently, wishing him the best
I told my dad that they were hardly seen together and he didn’t believe me, time to break the news to my dad😢
Break it! Tell him they sucked at CopenHell too!!!
@@marcjensen4093 I will lol, never a fan of metallica so I will
For a big tough sensitive Rock n roll front man that Hatfield guy is the real McCoy
@@swedishmeatball382 ... so happy for you , always a pleasure to see someone joyful over another's misery.
@@mindsauce4180 eh?🧐
This was unexpected. Prayers for the Hetfield family ❤
they seem okay currently. there was a recent pic of all the hetfields together on Francescas instagram where she wished him a happy fathers day. they still respect each other but the love has faded I guess
@@_.lizziejohnson Didnt know she had an instagram. From what I've seen they say they both still get along, so that's good. I don't know what went on but I'm sure James and her want it to be kept private for now. They filed earlier in the year, and it's just now came to light. Hopefully they can reconcile later on, but that's up to them. All we can do is pray for them and be respectful
@@_.lizziejohnson yeah. Long ago
@@DeweyJHall1 Hey, how's it goin' buddy? 👋😀
@@mirandahallisy97 HI! 😁🖐
Stay strong Papa Het.
You've got the world behind you in support.
Megadeth is better anyways
Lol sure shout out to her for sticking with James'...400 millions...
@@empirikal09 Yup. Their kids are raised so she’s gonna get half of the fortune and run
I hope he marries someone at least 25 years younger - he deserves it
Sure his wife deserves a good portion but the reality is it isn't her that filed for divorce it was James. Could be many thing or it could be her. Who knows. Sounds like James is trying to reconnect with himself and find himself. The good Ole mid life crisis.
@@k.b.elliott7137 he's way past midlife bro he's almost 60 lol.
Metallica has been having a shitty week and that makes me sad. Sorry to hear about this 👎
There's more Metallica news this week?
@@MyRealityIsProof did you hear about the TikTok girl who tried to cancel Metallica
@@MyRealityIsProof For context, about a week ago some girl on TikTok, called “Serena Trueblood,” is wanting Metallica to be cancelled just because of some of the things they did in some photos/videos that are “shocking.” For example, Lars and James doing a Nazi salute in one photo, a clip of Jason Newsted marching while doing the Nazi salute, another photo of James with Kerry King (Kerry was wearing a confederate flag shirt) and she called him an “Aryan Brotherhood looking motherfucker.” That’s what happened last weekend.
@@balddavemustaine7620 Metallica can't be cancelled
@@xwraden it's impossible
Sincerely hope they're both ok, but, I hope James doesn't relapse or worse because of this either.
yeah i was thinking the same
Exactly what I thought, too...
It’s inevitable
@@magic_fruit_bat5003 hopefully not
i believe they split already a couple years ago
James is a very sensitive guy, maybe was the best thing to do for both of them, you don't want to be the rest of your life with someone you don't love.
I wonder why James married her in the first place she was a roadie
@@shred9475 maybe he was drunk.
@@shred9475 so? they fel in love.. what, he supose to have a model or what?
@@shred9475 i dont know why she married him?? he wasnt all that good when she was with him..
Na he still loves her, Just its now more of a good friend love, Not one thats required to stay married
All the best for them both. Nothing but love, respect and admiration for Hetfield. This man is an idol to many and has shown that no matter what anyone has to go through it’s possible with hard work and determination. Life isn’t easy but it’s always about moving forward. Keep Rockin’
James you've been through a lot. I hope this doesn't have any negative effects. I hope and pray that the family is ok. Your children are important in this scenario too.
I was married for 21 years, people want different things and grow apart. It's not a loss but a gain for both parties, just hard to see it at the time.
Brutal. James and Francesca are cool people.
My divorce is going to be final soon. Very cordial. We get along better now. It’ll be ok. It’s been a long process, but we co-parent well. Kids are 20 and 17, so I credit both of us for allowing our kids to come first - always. 🤘🏼🖤
Good on y'all. Some people aren't like that sadly...
I hope you guys are doing okay and everything works out in the long run. More power to you guys! Wish you all the best mate!
Are you James's wife???
My parents were the same way, although that led to my mom not getting nearly what she deserved. It was my dad that filed, and he occasionally will talk shit about her to me, but I shut that shit down. They stay peaceful by simply having zero contact.
@@robinyumnam2646 no, but thank you for thinking I’m worthy.
STAY STRONG JAMES🖤🖤🖤🖤 I'm sorry this is happening. So many people love and support you!!
Man I was so sad when I learned about James Hatfield from Metallica had filled a divorce after 25 years of marriage. To be honest James went through a lot of ups and downs ever since Jason's departure in 2001 and getting himself checked in to rehab shortly after during the film Some kind of monster making their new album with Bob Rock. I hope and I pray that he is in a better place now, but most importantly James still has his band mates Lars, Kirk, and Robert who are his family and still on the road selling out shows all across the world. James keep on rocking man🎸🎤
I don't who to thanks who to be blame but all we know francesca has been with james through his hard time rehab and addiction.
Sad to hear, but I wish Mr. Hetfield and his family prayers through this difficult time.
I think Hetfield feels when he walks out on that stage he's got to live up to the heavy metal bad ass icon....which doesn't coincide with any sensitive emotional weakness on stage....but amazing how his audience is understanding and compassionate during this time; comments right here by all of you prove this
Yeah, I watched that part of the concert and was wondering what was going on. So thanks for confirming what it was. Seems nowadays we all go through something similar. Be strong James, it'll work itself out brother. Your family around the world loves you. Peace.
This shouldn't be news...
It's Rock feed bruh. It's news here.
I can very much relate to this. I've been married for over 25 years and am too going through a divorce. I also have 3 kids and am trying to keep it cordial with my Ex, especially for my children. A long time battle with addiction played a role in it.
James, (if you ever see this) I want you to know that I've always loved your music and greatly respect your well-earned success. My heart & prayers go out to you as a man moving forward. I pray the best for us both in health, peace of mind & sobriety. God bless you!
Thank you dude
Means a lot to me
~James
Honestly when I see celebrities/popular figures social status and see that they divorce it hurts me a bit and makes me uncomfortable because it seems like divorce is the hardest decision you can ever do in your life. I hope I’d never have to go through that process in my life.
Same, I wanna be married, I'm not married yet, I will love her forever ♥️
James!!! As you say! We are you're friends, we are you're family!! None of us can understand to the degree of what you are going with the success of the Metallica name,we are here for you!! We are here for Lars!! We are here for Kirk!! We are for Rob!!
Life is too short to be unhappy. Good for James.
How do you know he'll be happy without her?
I love how positive Metallica fans can be . Just look at these comments ! It’s inspiring .
25 years a long time..alot of pain involved..usually betrayal involved when its a hard break up like that..we love you James..this must be the hardest thing he has and will ever go through
Dude plays in a band with Lars, he is used to pain and suffering
@@latentsea yup lol
@@latentsea ikr.
He's been through a lot of tough stuff over the years. Remember the tragic loss of Cliff? The shitshow around St. Anger? The everlasting struggle of his addiction problems? Damn. The fact he's still around unlike many other contemporaries of his is in of itself a big feat.
Im gonna look at the bright side here. Maybe we will get some more deep, meaningful music in this next metallica album.
Probably fade to black 2
I hope James is okay :( i wish them both happiness
I hope James makes himself a priority and does whatever he needs to be ok. Thinking of you brother 🤘🏼
James, I know who you are...you are the man that switched me from rock n roll to metal back in the early 90's. You are in the Smithsonian. You are a father. You are a badass. You are a man.
Sad. When your parents separate or divorce it's very hard.
Nah man , damn that’s probably why he’s been so tore up all year
We are all here for you James I went 25 years also and just got a divorce myself but as time goes by i realize it was for the best for both of us! TRULY LOVE YOU 💗BEEN A FAN SINCE I WAS 17 AND IM 51 NOW!! Prayers For u and your family!!!!
My parents separated three years ago yet still haven't filed for divorce! I wish they'd just either go through with it or get back together, not stay in the f**king middle!
Anyway, I really hope James' is mutual like my parents'. Also hope he stays clean and sober. Stay strong, my hero, Papa Het! 😥
Hello Teresa, thanks for your love and support towards me and my band, it keeps us going. What's your favorite of our songs?
@@jamesalanhetfield1375 OMFG! Is that really you, my hero?! I LOVE YOU!!! 🤘🤣🤘
@@mirandahallisy97 Aww, hero! I'm flattered, and yeah it's me
How are you today? How long have you been a fan of my music?
@@jamesalanhetfield1375 I'm doing good! My mom got me hooked around 2010! How are you?
Hoping for the best for them both. Much love!
Really sad! She stuck with James through all of his addictions and bs. At least their kids are older and will be able to deal with the situation a bit better than younger children would. 🙏
That's why my parents waited until three years ago to separate. Still ain't filed for divorce yet though. 😭
I don't understand the co-parenting deal. Aren't their kids full grown adults now? Aren't they of age to drive, work and have kids of their own? Why do they still need parenting?
@@v.j.3029 To have an excuse for connection between them because they dont want to delete one another after of 30 years, which is an entire life and they know each others shit more than anyone..
I guess that explains a lot. Hetfield was quite emotional on stage at the end of the last tour. confessing to the crowd he was feeling low etc etc Prompting tears and hugs from his bandmates.
I remember in a interview I think earlier 2000s some kind of monster he said his wife told him to get clean up or she was leaving I wonder if that's the case now
Met in 92 together since 97 holy shit, that's a long ass time, hope all goes well
Call a Warmline to help sort your feelings in between therapy. It really does help through recovery from life changes. Be it addiction, death, divorce etc. Having an unbiased ear helps.
Wow. My heart goes out to him and his family.
Take time to find yourself James. ❤️
Aww☺, I will, thanks dear for your love and support towards me, I appreciate, what's your favorite of our songs?
We are with James and his Family. Much Love. You got this one.
Fan since the 80s - I pray for peace and healing for James and his beautiful family. Divorce has divided and conquered many of us.
Sorry to hear about this so sad.God bless you James🙏🙏🙏
The rumours have been around for awhile due to him not wearing his wedding ring and the things he said on stage.
But it's really none of our business, hope he is coping ok !
That's unfortunate but still not terrible considering the fact that Lars married three times
Prolly because no one wants to deal with that little shit head
I bet lars had prenups he seems more practical
Definitely did not see this coming
Poor James he’s been through a lot and for some reason when he sad I’m sad because I just can’t stand seeing James sad I just want him to be happy but he will be in my prayers
Hope both James and her wife will get through this in a healthy way
Sometimes in relationships you go left they go right they have differences but again sometimes relationships can be fixed other times they cannot. But being with somebody for 25-30 years is tough it's going to be hard to date again
So sorry to hear this. Love James and Metallica.
We love you too Nancy
Thanks dear for your love and support towards me and my band, I appreciate, it keeps us going. What's your favorite of our songs?
Nothing is for eternity! James is a wonderful man with ups and downs in his life. It's a great love of his family, forever. All good wishes for James, Francesca and the kids. I love James so much and my heart is always with him. 🙏🤗💓💓💓
I just want James to remain healthy and keep letting his 3 brothers and his fans know that he is loved , and that we all are with him always
I was just thinking about him the other day. Damn.
She stood by him through SO MUCH, and I hear she is heartbroken. Sad. 😞
Sorry too hear this.hang in there.
Lots of love to the Hetfield family. I have been a fan of Metallica since my highschool days in 1986. 25 years is an accomplishment in any marriage, but the line of business and the stress it puts you under is hard. Lots of love and hugs to you James....from a fellow Coloradian (for now).
he's truly a masterpiece. how are you doing? I hope you're safe!
Yeah man I mean it happens... I really hope all of Metallica are doing good, I'm a long time old school fan myself.
Just put a wig on lars.
Wifey wants him to retire, James won't retire, Wifey gives ultimatum, James become single again.
Sending James best wishes. Going through a divorce and dealing with your mental health is difficult and to maintain your sobriety is tough. Been there before. 😒
Yeah it's tough but that's life(life is tough)
Thanks dear for your love and support towards me and my band, I appreciate, it keeps us going. What's your favorite of our songs?
Back to the groupies!
That’s extremely sad.
I hate that this is happening, because she seems like a good wife, sticking with him, all those years, and I can't imagine what she might have done, for him to do that, but it also makes me think that he did it, thinking that she deserves better than dealing with his addiction. I don't know, of course, but I just hope he has enough people to help him, when he struggles.
The next album might be amazing 👏
I'm happy that James has done this. People act like divorce is the end of the world; I've been through it and it is difficult, esp with children, but sometimes it can be a beginning, not an end. I want James to be happy, he's been through so much. Metallica has got me through a lot--I met James in '94, and he was awesome to me. James needs time to find himself again, start over and find his happiness. His kids will make it through just fine. All the best to James.
Happy? That isn't right.
Sometimes happiness is self destructive. I know this because my mom and died divorced after 28 yrs of marriage. My kussy if a dad (and I still love him. He's the only family I have and super close with). But just says my mom is abusive towards him, because she wants to control the relationship by restricting my dad from taking alcohol, and smoking cigarettes and taking in all this unhealthy stuff that harms his body. So all she want is my dad to live a healthy life, she'll scream and argue everytime he does something bad, instead of being supportive like my dad wants or hoped for. On the otherhand, my dad's argument is he is a man and man is not dictated by others. It's his body and his choice. They're both wrong and both right. He's now remarried and his new wife just let the man does what he wants and my dad is happier for it but still does stupid stuff as a result. I guess there is a price for freedom, and how things can be handled could be different but there's no changing it when people are hellbent on doing what they want to do. It's predestined. It's sad how things turn out.
I imagine this is what James is going through. I wish him the best though.
@@FIRE-LOTUS I mean who would wanna be with a nagging wife. If your spouse is doing unhealthy stuff you gotta be supportive and patient not relentlessly rage out on them. Sucks sometimes women change after menopause and that youthful vibrant, sweet, supportive woman you married becomes unrecognizable not saying that’s always the case but I’ve heard many stories on that exact thing.
Please, Jaymes Is a very lucky Chap overall...prolly his sobriety forced to face a different kind of way of Life, and might have worsened his relationship with his wife
I wonder if this is why he announce 2/3 months back why he was struggling whilst on tour as his marriage was broken
Those words at the end are heavy. Im worried about James, hope he finds peace.
God damnit dude
Just another reminder that these people we see as music gods are just as human as you and me. Gotta support them as much as possible
dam James has really been in his feelings these past few years. hope he gets better soon
well least there's no bitterness between them, they're both grown adults and im sure they talked it through, sucks that after 25 years it end but thats how life is, really hope James gets better and find who he is
2 things we’re not taught growing up.
1) money, wealth and abundance. We’re slaves otherwise
2) your mind, emotions and spirituality. The truth will set you free
We ALL have to learn this stuff. Control your emotions or be controlled by them. Humans are FEELING beings. Covered in skin which FEELS. Plenty of amazing teachers, authors and speakers out there - Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Rhonda Byrne, Bob Proctor. I doubt rockstars like Metallica even spend 5 minutes a week looking into this stuff ☯
Dear prudence won’t come out and play
You might be totally wrong about what "rock stars" look into.
@SerpentStar I'm pretty sure they think about that on the tour bus; I believe there's a Bob Seger song they covered called "Turn The Page", which I'm pretty sure has those elements. Damn, I love that cover! 🤘
I can’t imagine getting divorced at 60.
Sad... but true.
Damn bro.
Divorce is hard.
I'm sorry man.
You got good supports 👏
We love ya James and crew
Damn. I figured the "old man" comment that bugged him had to have come from a family member to get to him so much. His vocal performance live has been more aggressive lately, was hoping it wasn't related to actually going through shit again
James has been through so much his whole life..and that's just what we learn from the media. I'll be dammed if he/MetallicA didn't change or make an impact on thousands of people's lives. Most of us are strangers to him but he genuinely cares for us.
Francesca is a huge support to James, he has said it alot. Only they know what is best for them. I wish them happiness "wherever they may roam"
"Nothing else matters"
God be with them and may peace be with all of us.
With love Mary from Michigan.
he's truly a masterpiece. how are you doing? I hope you're. safe!
@@christophercline598 hey I'm hangin in there. Hope your doing well. Long live MetallicA. 🤟

Hey guys really wished this was James responding back to our comments but we all know isnt!!! Love you James... Love my Metallica !!!!!🤘🤘🤘😍Had a crush on him for over 30 years now!!! 🤘🤘
It had to have stem from the second rehab stint. Maybe something happened that caused the separation.
Welcome to another episode of Metal TMZ!
Show some respect please!
James is hot as heck and he can take me out any day he wants, but this truly makes me really sad. They had a beautiful family. I sincerely wanted those two to make it. 💔
days after his birthday...!! damn that hurts
Sad news to hear. It can be for the best...but some how i hope they patch it up after all or its not true!
Damn…
That Stranger Things check hit and now James living his best life
Was wondering why he hadn’t been wearing his ring lately
I just feel really sad about this 😞
Feels for J.H. always knew, he had alot of " inner demons", but, who doesn't, hope Jam4s & his can heal & grow from this ... 🖤🎶🎵🎼🎤🎸🎹🎻
My thoughts and prayers to you James 🙏
United - Metallica Family. Wish him and his the best...
New album gotta slap
Hetfield informing his wife of divorce proceedings:
Give me fuel, give me fire, give me the divorce that I desire,
OOOOOOOH, ahhhhh yehhh hehhhhhhhh
