The Week of April 3, 2024 on The Metallica Report…

A seemingly unlikely pairing, the paths of Elton John and Metallica have crossed over the years more than you might think. Ahead of PBS’s Gershwin Prize for Popular Song broadcast honoring Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Kirk and Rob join Steffan and Renée to share a few fun stories about Sir Elton.

Premiering on Monday, April 8 at 8 PM ET (check local listings), catch Metallica’s rendition of “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” as part of a star-studded evening featuring Joni Mitchell, Garth Brooks, Brandi Carlile, Annie Lennox, Maren Morris, Billy Porter, Charlie Puth, and Jacob Lusk of Gabriels.
