Metallica Frontman Detained At British Airport

By World Entertainment News Network

Metallica frontman James Hetfield was temporarily detained by security officials at a British airport, according to U.K. reports. The rocker jetted into Luton airport ahead of Saturday's Live Earth London gig - where his band is performing - but was stopped by officials before he could leave the terminal.

British newspaper The Times claims Hetfield's friends blame his "Taliban-like beard" for the interrogation.
