Metallica’s James Hetfield turned fifty, got sentimental and started to reflect on his incredible life. His family is most important he says, it’s unconditional love.

The longtime rockstar, who has spent much of his career traveling for weeks, if not months on the road recalls turning 50 and reminiscing about having to balance between being a rockstar and his family.

He’s also a big supporter of Road Recovery, an organization dedicated to helping young people battle addiction and other adversities.

Take a peak.
