The pair were safely returned to their nursing home after rocking out at the festival.
Two elderly German men proved that you’re never too old to rock.
They were later found “disoriented and dazed” on the grounds of the music festival at 3 a.m. The nursing home arranged a ride home for the men.
“They obviously liked the metal festival,” police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld told German public broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk.
The story of the elderly men who escaped to the Wacken Open Air festival garnered quite a bit of attention, with stories in news outlets across the globe and praise from heavy metal fans for their dedication.
Lee said he fell in love with heavy metal listening to Black Sabbath in the 1970s but later learned from Black Sabbath drummer Tommy Iommi that Lee was something of an inspiration himself. In a 2013 promotional video for Lee’s album, the actor told Iommi that he was the “father of metal.”

“Police praised revelers this year for good behavior with little interference needed from police beside a few minor drug seizures,” the report noted.
It was not clear if the elderly men who broke out of the nursing home to attend the heavy metal music festival plan to return next year.
