About this audiobook

The legendary frontman of Judas Priest, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time, celebrates five decades of heavy metal in this tell-all memoir.

Most priests hear confessions. This one is making his.

Rob Halford, front man of global iconic metal band Judas Priest, is a true "Metal God." Raised in Britain's hard-working, heavy industrial heartland, he and his music were forged in the Black Country. Confess, his full autobiography, is an unforgettable rock 'n' roll story-a journey from a Walsall council estate to musical fame via alcoholism, addiction, police cells, ill-fated sexual trysts, and bleak personal tragedy, through to rehab, coming out, redemption . . . and finding love.

Now, he is telling his gospel truth.

Told with Halford's trademark self-deprecating, deadpan Black Country humor, Confess is the story of an extraordinary five decades in the music industry. It is also the tale of unlikely encounters with everybody from Superman to Andy Warhol, Madonna, Jack Nicholson, and the Queen. More than anything else, it's a celebration of the fire and power of heavy metal.

Rob Halford has decided to Confess. Because it's good for the soul.

Named one of the Best Music Books of 2020 by Rolling Stone and Kirkus Reviews

Ratings and reviews

I've admired Rob Halford all my life - this book has made me admire him all the more! Thank you Rob, for all that you have done and continue to do!

I remember hearing Screaming For Vengeance on my brother's tape player back in 1982. And when Painkiller came out in 1990 he estabished that he was the Metalgod, and it was an open secret that he was gay. But we didn't care- he was the Metalgod and we wanted him back. This book should absolutely make someone leave homosexuality alone and let others determine what is best for them. God bless you Rob Halford!

Tried to purchase the book Dustin mckee at the store ripped me off
