Metallica Fan Shaves Beard after Waiting Album Release

Contributed By: Sybru Created On: Thursday, 18 September 2008 Hits: 63 Metallica A Metallica fan has finally shaved his beard after growing it for two years, following a vow he made around his favorite band's release schedule. Mick Cassidy, 37, told his wife Maendi in 2006 that he wouldn't cut his facial hair until the metal band released the long awaited follow-up to 2003's 'St Anger'. But his - and probably his wife's wishes - were answered earlier this month when the band released 'Death Magnetic', which has topped the charts in the UK and US. "It was a relief," said Dublin-born Cassidy, whose beard had grown to an impressive 12-inches. "The beard made me look like a tomato with hair." According to The Sun newspaper, Metallica's James Hetfield also trimmed his facial hair in honour of Cassidy's achievement at the band's album launch party. Thousands of people had followed the progress of Cassidy's facial hair on the internet. See pictures of Metallica fan Mick Cassidy's shaving session at Thesun.co.uk.
