My Confession. An Incredible Story of a Rock Legend from Judas Priest

I came up with the perfect title for my memoirs: „Confession“. It couldn't be more fitting. Because, believe me, this sellout „priest“ sinned, sinned and again sinned, but now it’s time to confess... and maybe even get your blessing. The frontman of the legendary band Judas Priest, Rob Halford, was born in the heart of industrial Britain, in a working-class family. Every morning his way to school passed through black smoke and fumes from the ironworks. I always said that I smelled and tasted heavy metal long before this music was invented... , — Halford jokes with a bitter smile. His autobiography — is a potent mix of the ode to the power of heavy metal, difficult life moments, and unflinching self-irony. It's the story of the life of a true rock star, where there was everything: alcohol, drugs, police arrests, secret sexual relationships, and deep personal tragedy; rehab clinic, coming out, redemption... and finding true love. It’s a confession from the bottom of his heart 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 globe), and Halford himself was awarded a Grammy.
