Right now Glenn is able to play and perform some of the Priest songs
that are less challenging but due to the nature of Parkinson's
progression he wants to let you all know that he won't be touring as
such -
True to the metal spirit of 'the show must go on' Glenn has requested
Andy Sneap to fly the flag on stage for him.
“I want everyone to know that it’s vital that the Judas Priest tour go
ahead and that I am not leaving the band - it’s simply that my role has
changed. I don’t rule out the chance to go on stage as and when I feel
able to blast out some Priest! So at some point in the not too distant
future I’m really looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful metal
maniacs once again.
Rob, Richie, Ian and Scott have this to say:
“We have been privileged to witness Glenn’s determination and steadfast
commitment over the years, showing his passion and self belief through
the writing, recording and performing sessions with Priest - he is a
true metal hero!
We are not surprised by Glenn’s insistence that we complete the
Firepower tour and thank Andy for joining us to make Glenn’s wishes
become real - as Glenn has said we also can’t wait to have him with us
at any time any place on the road.....
"We love you Glenn!”
