An insider reported that Meghan approached the tour organizers, demanding a private section for her and Harry, along with backstage passes, meet-and-greet sessions, and exclusive merchandise. She even suggested the bands dedicate some songs to her and Harry, and proposed lyric changes to align with her agenda and beliefs. The tour organizers were reportedly shocked and appalled, finding her requests disrespectful and arrogant. They criticized Meghan for not understanding the culture and history of heavy metal and accused her of using the concert for publicity and image enhancement.
They emphasized that heavy metal has a devoted fan base that would not tolerate meddling or censorship. Consequently, the organizers declined Meghan's requests, explaining that the concert was open to all ticket holders without special arrangements. They also informed her that the bands had no interest in meeting her or Harry and would not change or dedicate any songs to them. They advised Meghan to either enjoy the show as a regular attendee or not attend.
Meghan was reportedly furious and offended by the rejection, accusing the organizers of rudeness and discrimination. However, the organizers remained firm, backed by the support of the bands and fans, and confident in the concert's success irrespective of Meghan's presence.
The concert tour, scheduled to start in April 2023, is anticipated to be a massive hit among metal fans. It will feature Amon Amarth performing songs about Norse mythology and Viking warfare, and Cannibal Corpse, known for their graphic and violent lyrics. The tour, titled "Metal Crusher," will showcase both bands playing their classic hits and new material from their latest albums.
