Heavy metal band Metallica are facing opposition from music fans and animal rights activists for their frontman's links to bear hunting.
The American group are due to headline Glastonbury festival from 25 to 29 this month and the group's co-founder, James Hetfield, is set to narrate an eight-part TV series called The Hunt which will document the killing of Kodiak brown bears in Alaska.
News of the show has been met with outrage from animal rights activists, with an online petition demanding that Metallica be removed from the Somerset festival's line-up.
A Facebook page has been made called "Remove Metallica from Glastonbury Festival for their Support of Bear Hunting", which more than 13,000 people have 'liked' since it launched last month.
