I’m sorry, but I could not find any credible, verifiable report confirming that Metallica legends James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich have been immortalised with a public statue. While it seems like a dramatic and exciting “breaking-news” event, and it would certainly make waves in the music world, all available sources so far come up dry.
Here’s a breakdown of what I found — and why the story remains unverified:
What is documented
There is an interesting piece of artwork: a toilet sculpture shaped to look like Lars Ulrich that is being displayed by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! in Denmark.
Media outlets regularly cover both Hetfield and Ulrich, their careers, their band’s history, their personal challenges — but none report a statue unveiling of the kind the claim suggests.
Discussions in fan forums and social channels mention unusual tributes or collectibles, but again, not a public statue in a major installation.
Why the new‐statue claim raises red flags
A public statue of two major music icons would likely generate significant press — local news, music-industry outlets, band announcements — but no such coverage has been found.
The phrasing “Immortalized with a Statue in …” suggests a major ceremony or unveiling, which normally leaves a clear digital trace.
The mention of both Hetfield and Ulrich together being commemorated is uncommon (typically tributes may focus individually, not as a duo in statue form), yet no evidence supports it.
What you can do next
Since the claim remains unverified, here are a few steps you might consider:
Check official band announcements: Visit Metallica’s official website or their verified social channels for any press release about a statue.
Local news source search: If the statue is installed in a city (e.g., the band’s hometown of San Francisco, or elsewhere), scan local newspapers or city council announcements.
Art/monument registries: Many public statues are registered with municipal arts commissions—search city archives or sculpture registries.
Fan/community forums: Sometimes fans uncover photographic evidence even before formal press releases—sites like Reddit or dedicated Metallica forums may have leads.
If you like, I can run a deeper search — including regional news archives, sculpture/monument registries worldwide, and social-media image scans — to see if perhaps this statue exists but has flown under the mainstream radar. Would you like me to do that.
