Amy Lee Reflects on Opening for Metallica on M72 Tour

Amy Lee, the powerhouse vocalist of Evanescence, recently shared her exhilarating experience of opening for Metallica during their M72 tour. In a candid interview with Loudwire, she reminisced about the unforgettable moments from the brief yet impactful run in late 2025.

Joining forces with Metallica for five shows in Australia and one in New Zealand, Lee described the experience as both thrilling and respectful. “It was so fun,” she expressed, highlighting the graciousness of the metal legends. Despite the challenges of being an opener, she felt welcomed and appreciated by the Metallica team, who even allowed her to set up a grand piano in the Snake Pit for an intimate performance.

One of the standout memories for Lee was watching her 11-year-old son experience the grandeur of the event. She recalled, “Rain gently starts falling during ‘Nothing Else Matters,’ and I’m watching his mind go, ‘I’m in.’ It was just such a good thing for my heart.” The connection between music and family shone brightly during this monumental tour.

As Evanescence continues their U.S. tour before heading to the U.K. and Europe, fans can look forward to more electrifying performances. Metallica, on the other hand, is gearing up for their historic residency at the Las Vegas Sphere this fall, marking another milestone in their legendary career.
