About Richie and Judas Priest:
There are few heavy metal bands that have managed to scale the heights that Judas Priest has during their 50-year career. Their presence and influence remain at an all-time high as evidenced by 2018's 'Firepower' being the highest charting album of their career, a 2010 Grammy Award win for 'Best Metal Performance', plus being a 2006 VH1 Rock Honors recipient and a 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination.
Poised now to celebrate that illustrious career as they enter their 50th year in the industry - 2020 should have seen the band embark on an epic 50th-anniversary tour in celebration but due to Covid-19, this has had to be postponed to 2021...
When the previous guitarist left in 2011 with a still-burning desire to continue flying the flag of metal, Judas Priest decided to continue on, by enlisting newcomer Richie Faulkner on guitar. The move seemed to have reinvigorated the band, as evidenced by a show-stealing performance on the 'American Idol' TV program, that also served as Faulkner's debut performance with the band (also in 2011, as was the release of a new compilation 'The Chosen Few', which included Priest classics selected by some of metal's biggest names) and the 'Epitaph' concert DVD in 2013.
Priest’s next studio effort would arrive in 2014, ‘Redeemer of Souls’, which resulted in the highest chart placement of Priest’s entire career in the U.S., when it scaled the charts to #6 and was supported by another strong tour. This also was Faulkner's debut to writing with Glenn Tipton and Rob Halford and he fast became a permanent part of the writing team.
In 2017, Priest received a nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and got ready to unleash a new studio album, ‘Firepower’ (produced by Andy Sneap and Tom Allom). The album received global success and critical acclaim and saw the band embark on the sold-out JUDAS PRIEST – FIREPOWER 2018 World Tour.
2019 saw the band continue their touring onslaught which leads us nicely to 2020/2021 when the world will celebrate this remarkable band's' 50 YEARS OF HEAVY METAL!!
