In addition, hetalks about the upcoming 2024 Judas Priest live tour together with Saxon and Uriah Heep, and which songs Judas Priest will play live this time. And of course, also addresses the fact that he and Bruce Dickinson will be playing several shows at the same festivals in 2024, answering the question about a possibility of a duet. Rob Halford also shares some news about his new book and much much more. Enjoy!"
Halford on the possibility of performing "The One You Love To Hate" with Bruce Dickinson:
"That's in the lap of the gods. I don't know. I never say never to these kinds of things. I haven't spoken to Bruce in forever, I haven't spoken to Roy Z in forever; I'm just really excited to see the guys and get the group hug because between the three of us we've done so many things in metal. We have a great friendship, a great relationship, so yeah, anything's possible. I never say no to any possibilty or ideas."
Over the past 50 years Judas Priest have sold over 50 million albums worldwide and headlined the world’s biggest stages. With their evolving music and live performances also came a powerful unique identity, a look which has both defined the group and influenced future generations of metal bands the world over. With each year, the Judas Priest legend continues to grow; 2022 saw them inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and complete a sold-out rescheduled world tour in support of their 50th Anniversary. As we roll into 2024, Judas Priest continue to retain their crown as one of the biggest and best British bands in the world.
