I saw that on the news years ago. Tim Owens was a cubicle farm worker who played in a Judas Priest cover band. So when Halford left, and the band held auditions, Owens participated and won the slot of lead singer. His stage name was Ripper Owens, said first name being in honor of a Judas Priest song, IIRC.

Yes; The Ripper was on their second album.
