Metallica made €35,000 donation to homeless charity before Slane Castle gig

Metallica made a huge donation to an Irish homeless centre ahead of their Slane Castle gig.

The rockers donated a generous €35,000 to the Capuchin Day Centre in Dublin.

The brilliant news was announced on the band's 'All Within My Hands Foundation' Instagram page, Dublin Live reports.

Sharing an image of the band holding the cheque, they said: "This leg of Metallica's World Wired Tour starts with a special bonus donation during rehearsal to the Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People where they welcome people in need of food aid who have no home or are socially excluded and provide care with respect and dignity."

Based on Arran Quay, the Capuchin Day Centre was founded by and is run by Fr Kevin Crowley.

It serves breakfast to hundreds of people in need every morning, and then dinner to even more.

They also provide clinics and aid including clothes and supplies.
