Metallica Cancels South America, Japan Tours

There is an official statement regarding the cancelled METALLICA dates for South America and Japan from Intersandman.com. They pulled this quote from the a Brazilian chapter of the MetClub:

"We'd like to tell you that Brazilian concerts of METALLICA are officially cancelled. The producer just e-mailed us telling that. Also, the producer tells that money back thing will be know later today, through an official statement about the cancelation of the shows. We also know that Sony from Japan confirmed the cancelation on that country, like a newspaper in Chile. So, we all are very sorry about that and we getting worried because we sent e-mails for MetClub asking what happened and, until now, no answers we get."

A confirmation from the members of METALLICA has not yet been made.
