As previously reported, Kirk scored a field goal during a live show, but at the other end of the ball was a little girl’s face.
Some people were wondering who that kid was or if she was hurt, but most people just pointed and laughed, really. Anyway, a recent update on MetOnTour.com sets the record straight.
“You may have been reading some reports and watching some YouTube video of Kirk accidentally kicking a balloon and knocking a child down. I want to set the record straight here. The child is the daughter of a Metallica crew member, and she was experiencing the joy of the balloons dropping. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Kirk did not see her when he kicked the ball. The little girl did not receive any injuries, and she was not “sent flying several feet into the audience.” Both the little girl and Kirk are fine, and are still friends. Thanks for everyone’s concern and support.“

Well, since the little girl is alright, you can keep watching that video, guilt free.
