James Hetfield, Lead Vocalist, Rhythm Guitarist, co-founder and main songwriter of heavy metal band Metallica is signing for divorce with his wife for two decades, Francesca Hetfield. TMZ reported earlier today.
They were told by sources close to the former couple, that James filed papers against Francesca in Colorado earlier this year.
"Surprisingly, the filing was never reported, and the couple kept it out of the spotlight. We're told the two are still in touch, as they have kids together."

My wife, Francesca, has been the most amazing person in my life. She has ridden the big waves with me. We have gone through some extremely difficult things and come out stronger. She’s stuck with me through all the hell. When I met her, I knew she was brought to me to help me get out of this hell hole. And she did. There was a point where she stood up for the family, saying, ‘You’ve got to get out of here. You’ve got to go get yourself together. I’m not submitting me or my kids through this.’ Fear is a great motivator. I have abandonment issues because I’ve had one family that disintegrated. I didn’t want another one to.
And the person I admire most on this planet, I love, who stood by me through all the hell and took the heat more than I did at times and is still here with me today, my beautiful wife Francesca.
– James Hetfield.
