LARS ULRICH – Retires From METALLICA

***Update: This is a fake story.*** (Although it sounds like a great idea!)

Sad news for Ulrich fans. Speculation had been rife that METALLICA’s drummer will announce his retirement from music, at age 53. Now it seems as this is really going to happen, with immediate effect.

Being a musician isn’t fun anymore

“As we get older, there are phases of life that we enter into, and being a musician just isn’t fun anymore.” The report hinted that he may branch out into other creative fields he is better at (and more interested in), though they didn’t provide any details.

#ThankYouLars

For a little while on Saturday evening, #ThankYouLars was a trending hashtag on Twitter. As many fans reminisce and look back on all the unforgettable memories (and forgettable ones like Lou Reed & Lady Gaga), some may wonder what about now made him make the decision.

“You’ve accomplished everything I ever dreamed of #ThankYouLars.”

No word yet on who is going to replace the drummer for the upcoming U.S. tour Metallica begins in May. Although James Hetfield for years has wanted to get behind the kit. Well, now is his big chance.
