Knocked Loose Press On With Metallica Tour After Guitarist Is Hit By A Car

Knocked Loose have confirmed that they will continue with their upcoming dates on Metallica's tour, despite recent health and injury setbacks affecting two members of the band.

The Kentucky hardcore outfit are currently supporting Metallica on the UK and European leg of the "M72" tour.

Major performances are still scheduled at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, Cardiff's Principality Stadium and London Stadium in the coming weeks. See all dates and ticket information here.

The group, who are also preparing to support Bring Me The Horizon at upcoming shows in Poland, have reassured fans that every scheduled date will go ahead despite a challenging few weeks on the road.

Frontman Bryan Garris recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy while touring. He documented the experience in a video diary, explaining that he sought medical advice after noticing he was "losing control" of the left side of his face. The condition causes temporary facial paralysis. Rather than stepping away from performances, Garris opted for treatment including steroids and acupuncture, allowing him to stay on stage.

 

Then on Friday, May 29, guitarist Isaac Hale shared that he had been "hit by a car". He posted a photo on Instagram showing his hand and wrist heavily wrapped in bandages. Despite the injury, Hale appeared in good spirits, giving a thumbs up in the image and joking about enjoying boba tea after leaving the hospital, suggesting he also plans to remain on the tour.

Knocked Loose are also set to head out on a North American tour later this year alongside co-headliner Denzel Curry. The two recently teamed up on the explosive new single "Hive Mind".

The song marked the band's first new release since 2024's album "You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To", which featured the Grammy nominated collaboration with Poppy, "Suffocate".

Speaking to NME last year, Garris discussed where the band could head creatively in the future. "There’s been a lot of processing of how amazing some of these moments have been. But there’s never been any conversation about lightening up. We’re a heavy band and we’re always going to be a heavy band."

"If anything, that attention makes us want to double down. We see people reacting positively to all of this chaos that we’re introducing to our sound and we get inspired by that feedback, inspired by past extremes working. That’s how it will stay."

Knocked Loose are also due to perform at Primavera Sound in Barcelona this week, with their set among those being streamed live through Amazon Music.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Reveal Stunning Wedding Photos in Sicily

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are offering fans a closer glimpse into their lavish wedding celebrations in Sicily.

On Saturday (June 20), the 30-year-old pop star posted a set of striking images on social media taken during their second wedding ceremony in Palermo, Sicily.

“Mr & Mrs,” Lipa wrote as the caption for the Instagram carousel.

Dua Lipa’s post included intimate snapshots from the celebration, showing the couple embracing up close, a black and white portrait set against the venue’s grand architecture, and lively moments of dancing and champagne celebrations.

A number of celebrity friends left congratulatory messages in the comments, including Elton John, Katy Perry and Troye Sivan. “Congratulations, an honour to have been there to celebrate your love,” John wrote. Perry commented, “Sweetie babies,” while Sivan left a white heart emoji.

The couple’s star-studded Sicilian celebration was held at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th century estate near Palermo, earlier this month and reportedly hosted around 300 guests. Elton John also performed for the newlyweds, singing his classic “Your Song.”

The guest list included Donatella Versace, Joe Alwyn, Olivia Dean, Charli XCX and her husband George Daniel of The 1975, as well as Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and his wife Sophie Parker, alongside Mark Ronson and Grace Gummer.

The Sicily ceremony followed the couple’s earlier private wedding at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall on May 31.

Lipa confirmed her engagement to Callum Turner in June 2025 after months of speculation. The pair were first linked romantically in January 2024 after being seen together at an afterparty following the premiere of Masters of the Air.
