Every camera locked onto James Hetfield — no longer the Metallica frontman there to discuss music, but the epicenter of a storm unfolding live on air.…

HISTORY WAS MADE THE MOMENT 2026 BEGAN—AND JAMES HETFIELD’S NAME LANDED WHERE LEGENDS LIVE. TIME Magazine just nominated James Hetfield as one of the “100 Most Influential People of 2026.” Not because he chased headlines. Not because he tried to soften or reshape himself for the moment. But because he defined the moment—and never let go of it. A raw, uncompromising voice in a world that keeps polishing the edges. A denim, leather, and distortion silhouette that stayed faithful to pain, power, and truth through heavy music. A legacy that never asked for approval—yet gave voice to entire lifetimes of…

Foo Fighters dedicate ‘My Hero’ to Pat Smear at first show of 2026 Foo Fighters played their first show of 2026 Saturday at Mexico’s Feria de León festival and dedicated a performance of “My Hero” to guitarist Pat Smear. Smear, of course, was absent from the show after suffering what the band called a “bizarre gardening accident.” “This means he’ll unfortunately be missing a few shows while the multiple broken bones in his foot heal,” the Foos wrote in an Instagram post on Jan. 7. “We’ll miss our beloved Pat as much as you will, but we want him fully…

Walking the Camino de Santiago with Intent and Intentions. Last year, I walked the Camino de Santiago, specifically the Camino Frances, with my siblings and close friends.
