My Confession. The Incredible Story of Rock Legend from Judas Priest

I came up with the perfect title for my memoirs: „Confession“. How fitting. Because, believe me, this mercenary „priest“ sinned, sinned, and kept on sinning, but now the time has come to confess... and perhaps even receive your blessing. The frontman of the legendary band Judas Priest, Rob Halford, was born in the very heart of industrial Britain, in a working-class family. Every morning, his way to school passed through black smog and smoke from the foundry. I always said I smelled and tasted heavy metal long before this music was invented... — Halford jokes with a bitter smile. His autobiography — is a volatile mix of an ode to the power of heavy metal, tough life moments, and unflinching self-irony. It’s the story of a true rock star’s life, filled with everything: alcohol, drugs, police run-ins, secret sexual relationships, and deep personal tragedy; rehab clinics, coming out as non-traditional, redemption... and finding true love. This is a heartfelt confession that Halford dared to share with the world. Judas Priest — is an iconic British heavy metal band. Its members have released 20 albums (and continue to actively tour around the world), and Halford has even been awarded a Grammy.
