Metallica’s Lars Ulrich has appeared on the BBC to read a children’s Christmas story.
The drummer was a guest on Jo Whiley’s show on BBC Radio 2 where he read Julia Donaldson’s Stick Man. Ulrich introduces the broadcast by saying: “Hi, it’s Lars Ulrich here, sharing a cosy Christmas story with you… let’s do this.”
The four-minute tale can be listened to below.
Last year, Ulrich read The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas by Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Garry Parsons for the BBC.
