Metallica‘s Lars Ulrich was indeed knighted in his native Denmark recently. However, contrary to earlier reports, the below post shared by the band states that he was knighted last night, June 12th. In the picture he can be seen alongside Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. Ulrich was awarded the Knight’s Cross of The Order Of The Dannebrog, which can be seen affixed to his chest.
According to Wikipedia the award is: “a means of honoring and rewarding the faithful servants of the modern Danish state for meritorious civil or military service, for a particular contribution to the arts, sciences or business life or for those working for Danish interests.”
