Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford is urging all metal fans to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
“Hi everyone. This is your metal god, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, sending you a massive shoutout of thanks to our metal community for doing the right thing by getting the life-saving vaccine that will eventually eradicate COVID-19 around the world,” the rocker began in his video message uploaded to Instagram.
“One thing we’re proud about in metal is that we not only stand together united for our music, but also for each other,” the rocker declared, before reminding fans that vaccinations will likely enable the return of live music. “Common sense states that by having the jab, we’re opening up one of the most important areas that we have so desperately missed, which is being side by side, horns way up at clubs, theaters, arenas and festivals where who we are and what we live for is tangible and real with the bands we love. So let’s get those amazing vibes and feelings back faster.”
Halford closed his message by urging those who have not yet been vaccinated to “please stand up,” adding that “Judas Priest and all bands everywhere are made complete by playing live for our fans.”
Watch the singer's full message in the video below.
Halford is one of the many rock stars to champion the importance of vaccinations via their personal social media accounts. At the end of March, the singer posted an image of himself proudly displaying his COVID-19 vaccination card, with the one word caption “done.”
Anyone remember when “Judas priest!” was an exclamation, like “Holy crap!”
I’m sure there is someone out there stupid enough to do so.
You know rock n roll is dead when RocknRollas preach conformism.
Is that a reference to JP’s first album . . . ?
The propaganda has gotten amusing at this point...maybe they will go for the talking dolphins next!
breaking the law has more meaning now than ever before.
You got another thing coming.
No, wasn’t meant to be. I had to look it up to see the name of their first album. RocknRolla is the name of a Guy Ritchie film, it has multiple meanings.
Milli Vanilli lip sinked the same song of advice.
Flipper say: Get the Jab?
PSA—get the jab or we shoot this dolphin!
Idiot. This guy is giving us medical advice when he takes it right up the Wazoo, one of the most unhealthy things you can do.
Rock the vote!
And sounds like he may need to review the lyrics to electric eye.
I don’t need any advice from an over the hill homo rocker.
I don’t have the urge........
This has me Screaming for Vengeance.
I still use “Judas Priest” as a exclamation. Sometimes the extended “Judas H. Tap Dancing Priest” when the situation warrants it.
Just SHTF up and play, not that I like your thrash metal crap.
I’ll take your word for it.
