Here's something interesting. James Hetfield has revealed a bit about his spirituality. Longtime Metallica fans know that Hetfield's parents were both Christian Scientists, who didn't believe in modern medicine or medical treatment.
Hetfield watched his mother die from cancer for refusing treatment, and that anger stayed with him for a very long time, even making its way into early Metallica songs. But it seems once Hetfield got sober (he considers himself "reborn straight edge" , he found a new appreciation for spirituality.
In a recent interview with France's Clique, Hetfield was asked if he believed in God:
When the interviewer followed up asking if this higher power saved him in his life, Hetfield responds:
As somebody who considers themselves an atheist, I have no problem with this, nor is it really any of my business. Spirituality is something that is immensely personal, and it seems its gotten James to a great place in his life.
