Damage, Inc. was the third concert tour by the American thrash metal band Metallica. It began on March 27, 1986 and ended on February 13, 1987. The name of the tour is inspired by the last song on the group's third studio album, Master of Puppets. Metallica supported Ozzy Osbourne in the shows from March to August and was the main band from September to February 1987. It was bassist Cliff Burton's last tour, due to his death on September 27, 1986 in an accident with the band's tour bus near Ljungby, Sweden. The performances that were scheduled for October were cancelled and the band hired a new bassist, Jason Newsted.
