He told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that it wasn't until his wife literally threw him out of the house that he realized he needed to get help.

"And it did. But it took hitting a bottom to do that. So I'm extremely grateful for my wife for pushing hard like she did."METALLICA said in a statement, "We are so proud to be a part of the tenth annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert . . .
