Metallica Donated Huge Sum To Charities During European Tour

Metallica gifted more than 1.5 million euros to a number of local charities during the rocker’s recently completed summer 2019 European stint of their “WorldWired” tour.

The generous donations were given by the band over the course of 25 shows. Blabbermouth reports that the donations were made through the metaller’s non-profit foundation All Within My Hands.

The organisation was set up in 2017 with the intention of investing in the people and places that have supported the band. Metallica’s final summer 2019 donation was made on August 25th with a 63,000-euro given to Freezone Mannheim.

The outreach programme provides youth welfare services in Mannheim to children, adolescents and young adults who living completely or partially on the streets.

The rockers shared a photo of the band as well as three Freezone Mannheim representatives with a massive a check, and the caption:

“A HUGE thanks to all who attended a #WorldWired European show for helping us donate over €1.5million to local charities over the course of the 25-show tour. And special thanks to #MetInMannheim fans for wrapping it up with this contribution to Freezone. #MetallicaGivesBack #AWMH”
