As one of the best-selling artists in his native Colombia, there have been many milestones in Juanes’ storied career to date. But being named Person of the Year at the Latin Grammys in November 2019 is certainly up there among the most unforgettable.
The special award was handed to him by his personal hero Lars Ulrich, who had some choice words to offer the crowd gathered before them. “I had the pleasure of first meeting Juanes years ago after performing in Mexico,” revealed the suited and booted Metallica sticksman. “And I have keenly watched his music, his creativity and his radiant humanity storm this beautiful planet. Back then, I learned he was a Metallica fan… Now tonight, we come full circle. I proclaim myself a Juanes fan!”
