All Within My Hands, Metallica’s charity organization, has donated $50,000 to Direct Relief‘s Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. As all of this is going on Metallica will also be celebrating their 30th anniversary.
As a part of the 30th anniversary to their Black Album Metallica will release a deluxe edition of it on September 10th. Then on October 1st, they’ll release The Metallica Blacklist which will include cover songs from Black Album performed by Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Yo-Yo Ma, Chad Smith, Phoebe Bridgers and more. They also will soon be going on tour September 24th in Louisville, KY at Louder Than Life at Highland Festival Grounds at KY Expo Center and ending July 6th in Lisbon, Portugal at NOS Alive. Tickets are now on sale.
The band has also released a statement about helping Haiti:
“A 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked the nation of Haiti, just northeast of Saint-Louis-du-Sud, on Saturday, August 14. According to Haiti’s Civil Protection Agency, this disaster has left at least 2,207 people dead, more than 12,200 injured, and over 50,000 homes destroyed.”
“Tragedies such as this are precisely why our foundation, All Within My Hands, partners with Direct Relief – supporting the charity’s mission of providing critical local services – and why AWMH has made a $50,000 donation to Direct Relief’s Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. Direct Relief has assisted healthcare providers in Haiti for nearly 40 years, including a significant, multi-year response after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince. Since then, Direct Relief has delivered more than $321 million worth of medicines and supplies into Haiti and is committed to continuing this support well beyond the current emergency.”
