  James Hetfield of Metallica broke his wrist while trying to skateboard down a hill. One show was cancelled and the remainder of dates on the tour James was on vocals only and John Marshall (later with Metal Church) was on guitar. It wouldn't be the last time James would injure himself while on tour. In 1992, he was famously involved in a freak pyro accident that he was lucky to walk away from. While in 2000, while wakeboarding with Kid Rock he slipped some discs in his back and was unable to perform several dates including the Dallas show. Filling in for him on vocals and guitar that night were members of Kid Rock, Korn, System of a Down, and Powerman 5000.

  Van Halen announced that lead singer Sammy Hagar had left the band and that it was working on a greatest hits album with former frontman David Lee Roth. The reunion with Roth would last only a matter of weeks and ended in a public trading of insults. Hagar said he left the band after a decade because of "creative differences." They have recently patched up their differences and once again joined forces.
