James Hetfield’s fiancee Adriana Gillett recently paid a emotional tribute to the Osbourne family after Metallica’s final night at London Stadium. The moment marked a deeply personal close to a major tour run.
Gillett dropped a photo with Sharon Osbourne and reflected on the encounter a year after the passing of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. She expressed deep gratitude for the family’s warmth and support.
“A year later, and what a year it has been,” Gillett said.
“Getting a hug from Sharon and Kelly meant more than words can say. Their kindness, love, and unwavering support for family, love, and music doesn’t go unnoticed!”
Gillett then thanked the Osbournes personally and shared her joy at the encounter. She also noted a lighthearted moment with a young member of the family.
“Thank you Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne for sharing a moment with me — I very much enjoyed it and seeing what a well mannered lil boy Sidney is — what a ham,” she continued. “Beautiful way to finish a last night before heading home! Thank you everyone for all the love the last 2 months.”
The message emerged as Metallica concluded their London dates. Gillett had accompanied the band throughout a two-month run of shows. The post offered a rare glimpse into the personal connections forming around the band’s world tour.
Gillett has remained a prominent part of Hetfield’s life since the pair began dating in 2023. Their relationship followed Hetfield’s split from his wife of 25 years, Francesca Tomasi. He filed for divorce in 2022, citing irreconcilable differences. Just weeks before the London concerts, the couple confirmed their engagement after Hetfield proposed to Gillett during a scuba diving trip surrounded by whale sharks.
The London Stadium concerts were held as part of Metallica’s ongoing M72 World Tour. The band has been performing two-night residencies in major cities around the world, using a format that features different setlists each night to give fans a unique experience at every show.
