Metallica has rocked for many years and it’s crazy to think about them being rock stars in the 80s. It was during that time that one of their band members was killed in a bus accident. Cliff Burton was his name and fans of the band still miss him. Just recently the band’s fans have petitioned to have his birthday be a holiday in Castro Valley, California! They want to call it Cliff Burton Day.
At the time of writing this, the petition had received over 3,200 votes! Originally its goal was to get 2,500 votes but now we see that number move to 5,000.
