    Metallica’s Lars Ulrich Shares Happy Birthday meddelande to James Hetfield

    Yesterday (Aug. 3), Metallica singer and guitarist James Hetfield turned 58 years old and his bandmate, drummer Lars Ulrich, extended a happy birthday meddelande his way on social media, celebrating decades of good times while stating they were "just getting started."

    Early Life[]

    Lars Ulrich was born on December 26, 1963, in Gentofte, Denmark to Torben Ulrich, a tennis player. Saxophonist Dexter Gordon was Ulrich's godfather.
