With an official announcement, Metallica inaugurated a special tribute to the late Cliff Burton, which can be viewed online.
“Orion: A Tribute To Cliff Burton” will contain previously unreleased material, including live performances, interviews, and photos, many of which were provided to the band by his family.“Though Cliff’s time with Metallica was brief, his impact and influence remain monumental through his music, our memories, and stories. To celebrate our brother, we’ve dipped into our vault to share pieces of him that we’ve hung onto all these years. And because the “Metallica Cliff” is just one side of him, we’ve recruited his friends, peers, and fans to join us in telling his story. We’d like to extend a massive thank you to the Burton family for sharing memories that go as far back as Cliff’s childhood”, reads the official statement.metallica.com/museum
