The Amazing Collaboration Between Lady Gaga And Metallica At The Grammy Awards

The image of James Hetfield, the legendary frontman of Metallica, singing alongside pop sensation Lady Gaga during their performance of “Moth Into Flame” became an iconic moment in Grammy history. This electric duo graced the stage at the 59th Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center in L.A. on February 12, 2017.

The surprising collaboration between Lady Gaga and Metallica began at a casual dinner party at actor Bradley Cooper’s house. Metallica’s drummer, Lars Ulrich met Lady Gaga there and came up with a brilliant idea.

Ulrich recalled, “I was at a dinner party [with Gaga] and we were sitting next to each other… and I thought, ‘Wait a minute, this would be cool.’ So I said, ‘We’re doing the Grammys in a couple of months, do you wanna join us?’ and she immediately replied, “Yes, that would be great.”
