In what has to be the most wholesome story in metal this week, a woman gave birth at a METALLICA concert in Curitiba, Brazil on Saturday night.
METALLICA concert-goer Joice M Figueiró was 39 weeks pregnant when she attended the band’s performance at the Estádio Couto Pereira. According to an Instagram post, which can be seen below, Figueiró began going into labour mid-way through the band’s thunderous set.
Medics did arrive on-scene, however it would seem that the baby was ready to become a part of the world despite the crowded surroundings. An infant boy was born safely, in Joice’s own words, “to the sound of Enter Sandman”, noting that her son Luan “came to the world on 07/05/2022 at 23:15, shaking all the metal structures.”
“Every show I go to, something has to happen, but this time I think I’ve outdone myself,” Joice said, later acknowledging in two Instagram stories that her experience had gone viral and adding that she was “great physically and trying to understand how this happened.”
“He was born right there, in Couto Pereira, to the sound of Metallica,” she noted via a story. “Everyone was surprised at what is happening.”
METALLICA are currently on a South American tour which will see them take the stage for two more dates in Brazil before returning to the United States and Europe for the majority of the summer months.
