Metallica was set to tour Australia and New Zealand next month, but they abruptly postponed their tour yesterday so that James Hetfield can go back to rehab for an undisclosed addition. Back in 2002, he went to rehab for alcohol and other addictions.
This is the message the band has for their fans, “We are truly sorry to inform our fans and friends that we must postpone our upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.
“As most of you probably know, our brother James has been struggling with addiction on and off for many years. He has now, unfortunately, had to re-enter a treatment program to work on his recovery again.
“We fully intend to make our way to your part of the world as soon as health and schedule permit. We’ll let you know as soon as we can. Once again, we are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who often travel great distances to experience our shows. We appreciate your understanding and support for James and, as always, thank you for being a part of our Metallica family.”
Mel B is currently filming America’s Got Talent. When the season is done, she will fly back to England and check into rehab. She told The Sun she was recently diagnosed with PTSD stemming from a past abusive relationship.
She explained, “I am being very honest about drinking to numb my pain but that is just a way a lot of people mask what is really going on.
“Sometimes it is too hard to cope with all the emotions I feel. But the problem has never been about sex or alcohol — it is underneath all that.
“I am fully aware I have been at a crisis point. No one knows myself better than I do – but I am dealing with it.”
Therefore, she will be getting herself the help she needs, so she can be the best mom to her daughters.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Chevy Chase entered rehab for a “tune-up” and today he confirmed it on WhoSay. Flecth said, “I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your love and especially your words of encouragement this week. I’m here in Minnesota because I love my vodka a little too much and I think it’s time I stopped. My focus is to keep my family from worrying and get back to my birth weight. Thank you so much for your support and I look forward to laughing with you again soon. Love, Bob (Chevy 😄)”
I can’t wait to be laughing with him again because it sounds like “Bob” has sense of humor back.
Cory Monteith has entered rehab. His rep told People, that he “has voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction. He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery.” This is second time he has been in rehab for substance abuse, he also did a stay there when he was just 19 years old.
Hopefully he will get the help he needs and be back on Glee soon. But only when he is well enough to do so.
The Octomom has entered rehab for an addiction to Xanax according to TMZ. Her rep released a statement saying, “Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors. Nadya wanted to deal with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be.â€
And when it comes to who is taking care of her 14 children, TMZ says she left her nannies and not her own parents in charge of them for the 30 days that she away is from them. Which is something I could never understand.
Personally I think she should’ve entered rehab after having her 5th kid via in vitro because that was an addiction that she really needed help with.
