As Trujillo was leaving the stage, his band mates and crew sprayed him with an outrageous amount of silly string. Frontman James Hetfield then led the arena in a rendition of “Happy Birthday” while a very colorful Trujillo stumbled around the stage.
Metallica posted video of the birthday celebration on their Twitter. In the background, you can see drummer Lars Ulrich put on a hooded robe so as to not get hit with any stray silliness.
Metallica is currently touring the U.S. behind the band’s latest album, 2016’s Hardwired…to Self-Destruct. The outing continues Thursday night in Philadelphia.
