METALLICA Fans In Hot Water For Impersonating Staff In Bid To Meet Their Heavy Metal Idols

According to Stuff.co.nz, one of two METALLICA fans appeared in a New Zealand court earlier today (Monday, October 4) to answer charges that they scaled the fence around an arena and impersonated staff in a bid to meet the band in Christchurch.

19-year-old student Christopher John Sage admitted pulling the stunt on September 22, hours before METALLICA was due to play at the CBS Canterbury Arena in Addington.

Police prosecutor Sergeant John Taylor told the court that Sage and a friend climbed a fence into a restricted area behind the arena where staff stored their bags.
