Kirk Hammett of Metallica accidently kicked a child off the stage at their recent concert in Sydney. Despite early reports that the toddler was the son of frontman James Hetfield, it was apparently the daughter of either the band's production or tour manager.
Video recording of the incident shows Hammett kicking a large balloon into a child, who sends her flying into the audience. Reportedly the child was not injured by the accident. Metallica's current run through Australia and New Zealand will complete the two-year touring cycle behind the band's 2008 album, "Death Magnetic".
The band has just released a second live EP, titled "Six Feet Under, Part II", as a follow-up to the eight-song EP it issued just prior to the band's current tour of Australia and New Zealand. Metallica will also release a nine-track live EP recorded in Nashville, titled "Live At Grimey's", on November 26.
