This Is James Hetfield's Hope In 2024

JAKARTA - Metallica's frontman, James Hetfield expressed his hope in 2024. He stressed that he would continue to try and improve, both for himself and the band he leads

Metallica spent 2023 traveling the world as part of their M72 tour that will continue into this year.

Frontman Hetfield has since reflected on a year of new tours and music with Metallica, which also included the release of their new album 72 Seasons in April.

"I usually don't put much stock into New Year's stuff, but considering last year, [I'm] very grateful for what I got, what I've been through," he said a new episode of The Metallica Report.

[I] always look forward to what will happen next year (2024). The older I am, the more difficult and easy. So, I'm always looking forward to getting back on track, playing some shows, seeing some faces, familiar faces and new faces in the show," he continued.

"So, yes. I don't know anything else. I think the new year is a kind of cleaning, and I have new goals or something."

"I really just keep trying and improving myself, getting better, having a better attitude towards life, towards the lives of others, and trying to give as much joy to people as possible."
