METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich is mourning the loss of his father, Torben Ulrich. Torben, a prominent jazz musician and tennis player, passed away at the age of 95.
Lars Ulrich has always spoken highly of his father’s impact on his musical journey. Torben’s passing is a loss not only for the Ulrich family but also for the music community, as his contributions to the jazz world will always be remembered.
Lars said in a social media post announcing his father’s death:
Torben Ulrich: 1928-2023
95 years of adventures, unique experiences, curiosity, pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, tennis, music, art, writing….and quite a bit of Danish contrarian attitude.
Thank you endlessly!
I love you dad
