BUENOS AIRES, Brazil, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Hard rock band Metallica canceled its South American tour, which was begin in Buenos Aires, because of exhaustion and injury, Billboard.com reported.
"We've been going non-stop for the last 18 months with recording 'St. Anger,' press, touring, and all the stuff that goes with that, and honestly, we're fried," said a statement on the band's Web site.

The band has no current plans to reschedule the dates for Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo, but refunds are available at point of purchase, Billboard said.
"This is the first time in our 22-year history that Metallica have canceled a tour, and we are beyond disappointed," guitarist Kirk Hammett said in a statement.
