On August 8, 1992, a devastating incident occurred during a Metallica concert at Olympic Stadium in Montreal when frontman James Hetfield sustained second and third-degree burns from a pyrotechnics explosion. The severe injuries prompted an immediate medical response, leading to the concert being temporarily halted as Hetfield was rushed to hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, the abrupt interruption angered fans, resulting in chaos as the crowd began to riot. The unrest quickly escalated, leading to incidents of looting, shattered windows, and even fires. Authorities responded with arrests as the situation spiralled out of control, marking a tumultuous night in concert history.
