The Metallica drummer who headlined the Donington site yesterday, June 10, had to miss the same date in 2004 after being hospitalized with a mysterious \"medical emergency\". He was mainly replaced by Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Slayer\'s Dave Lombardo.

Talking to NME.com prior to their festival performance, Lars Ulrich has revealed the terrible truth! The Metallica drummer said:

\"Somebody asked me if it was true that my wife caught me with two prostitutes and an eight-ball (of cocaine). But that\'s actually not what happened. What happened was I caught my wife with two prostitutes and an eight-ball. And she wouldn\'t fucking let me join them! I got all hot and bothered and I didn\'t make it.\"

Yesterday wasMetallica\'s seventh appearance at Donington.
