Caught on Cam: Metallica’s James Hetfield Sparks Buzz with Kiss Cam Appearance at Raiders Game!

Metallica is currently in Las Vegas for their massive residency at the Sphere, and their front-man James Hetfield's appearance on a completely different jumbotron yesterday, October 4, seems to have fans all in a tizzy for one reason or another.

That's because James Hetfield and his new fiancée, journalist-turned-fashion designer Adriana Gillett, kissed each other on the big screen at the Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. A fan-filmed clip of the sweet moment has been making the rounds online, with the original poster jokingly writing «This isn't kiss cam» to caption the Instagram post, while the actual clip itself featured «Get a room, James.

There's children here» written across the top. James Hetfield and Gillett were merely sitting next to each other giggling and enjoying the vibes as the camera panned over to them, prompting James Hetfield to lean over and give her a quick, affectionate peck. So, that's news, apparently.

James Hetfield proposed to Gillett back in March of this year in a pretty adorable way. The two, who have reportedly been together since 2023, were on a scuba dive with majestic whale sharks when he all of a sudden pulled out a sign popping the big question to her. An official wedding date has yet to be announced.

Metallica's «Life Burns Faster» residency at the Sphere started last week on October 1. It's set to run for the next few months, spanning across 24 scheduled shows so far that will go all the way until March 13 of next year. The opening night of their residency saw them play a killer 16-song set, including heavy hitters like «Battery» and «Master of Puppets» among many others, while also unearthing a couple of absolute classics for the first time in years. They notably played «Now That We’re Dead» live for the first time since 2021, alongside «…And Justice for All», which they performed live for the first time since 2014.
