Just recently, The Metallica frontman called Joice and her husband Jaime to wish them the best after welcoming their baby into the world in the most epic way.
In a clip shared by the couple on Instagram, he can be heard saying: "This is James from Metallica. Congratulations, you guys."
Joice told her followers that he stayed on the phone for seven minutes to chat to the new parents.
She added: "I have no more words."
Joice and Jaime named their baby Luan Figueiró, but didn't rule out "some homage" to the band as his middle name.
