Sad news indeed. I don't know how these guys tour into their 60's anyways, road life is hard.

They have nice tour buses and a lot of roadies that break their backs for them. All they really need to worry about is getting enough rest.

They do but sleeping in a different bed every night and a weird schedule is still rough.

It would be hard to sing JP songs for 90 minutes a night 4-5 nights a week IMHO.

Yeah, but Halford doesn't move much anymore compared to his younger days. That probably saves a ton of energy for him to concentrate on the vocals.

If anyone can contact him online , I´d like to gently ask u to show him this video :

Sad to hear this and feel for Glenn. I was surprised he has been sick this long. I really had no idea. It makes sense now that when I saw them back in 2014, he kind of hung back and let Ritchie do most of the work. Glad I was at the stage for that show.

I saw them also, but didn't notice. Since I read the news about him, I've been watching lots of priest YouTube videos, and noticed on the newer live videos he was hanging out more in the background like you say. Really sad, all my bands are going away.

Gotta admit, this news hit me in the feels, or however the expression goes.

Its sad news, but if he was diagnosed ten years ago, imagine the willpower and strength, it took to record and tour the last decade by Tipton.
