Anne Watson went to Metallica’s concert in Chicago with her son, Russell, and had a close call when she almost lost him in the crowd. Then, someone gestured towards the stage. What happened next was a total shocker and captured the hearts of people all across the internet.
At Metallica’s recent concert in Chicago, there was a truly heartwarming moment that left everyone in awe. A young fan’s dreams became a reality, much to the surprise and joy of his mother, who was watching from the crowd.
In a recent event, Anne Watson, an entrepreneur, had the opportunity to attend Metallica’s concert in Chicago alongside her son, Russell. Just like any other die-hard fans, they were absolutely buzzing with excitement to catch a glimpse of the iconic metal legends in action. As the performance went on, Russell felt the urge to get in on the action and decided to move closer to the mosh pit, much to his mother’s delight.
“He just disappeared, and I couldn’t keep up,” shared Anne in an Instagram post. She also mentioned that she was freaking out because she couldn’t recall where she misplaced her kid in the midst of all these concert enthusiasts.
Feeling a wave of anxiety, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. In a heartfelt moment, she silently sent a prayer to her late husband, asking him to watch over the boy.
And then, what unfolded next was beyond her wildest dreams.
As the music filled the air, the crowd suddenly erupted in excitement, with people eagerly pointing towards the stage and exclaiming, “Hey, is that your kid?” There he was, Russell, perched on drummer Lars Ulrich’s drum kit, basking in the applause as the band rocked out to their timeless hit, The Unforgiven.
After the song ended, Ulrich generously gave his drumsticks to Russell.
Anne later posted on Instagram to express her gratitude, saying, “Dreams really do come true. Thank you, @larsulrich, for being such an authentic, kind, and incredible person. Words can’t fully capture how much this meant to my son Russell.” He’s like a whole new person after that incredible night you spent together at Soldier Field in Chicago. It’s safe to say that it was an experience he won’t forget anytime soon. My heart is filled with so much gratitude right now 🙌🖤🙏 Thanks a lot, @metallica! We’ll always have a special place in our hearts for you.
She mentioned that Russell even sensed his late father’s presence in the hug that Lars gave him after the show.
Metallica responded to the post, saying “It was amazing to rock out on stage with your son! 🤘🖤”
The Instagram post has received a whopping 1 million likes and has been shared more than 138,000 times. Metallica fans have come together to praise Ulrich for his awesome gesture.
