ROB HALFORD Quietly Battled Prostate Cancer During Pandemic - "I Have Nothing But Gratitude To Be At This Point In My Life," Says JUDAS PRIEST Legend
October 15, 2021, 3 years ago
Heavy Consequence recently spoke with Judas Priest frontman, Rob Halford, for an interview about the band’s new 50 Heavy Metal Years Of Music box set.
During the chat, Rob casually revealed, “I had my little cancer battle a year ago, which I got through and that’s in remission now, thank God. That happened while we were all locked down, so things happen for a reason as far as time sequence of events. I have nothing but gratitude to be at this point in my life, still doing what I love the most.”
While Halford hadn’t previously mentioned his cancer battle publicly, it turns out the details were revealed in the new chapter added to the just-released updated paperback edition of Halford’s 2020 memoir, Confess, in which he writes, with great specificity and some humor, about being diagnosed with and treated for prostate cancer during the spring of 2020, and again earlier this year.
