About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic read. I'm not a huge Priest guy but I do like them a lot. Rob really opens up and let's the reader in.

Was never a huge fan of Judas except the older stuff nothing since Ram it Down , but so glad I bought the book was a great read and found how tough Halford really is and funny and it's funny just finished the day they release Panic Attack new song from album coming in March of 24 so they're still going strong. Not a gay person and will never know what it's like hiding something like that had to be torture especially in his line of work but glad he came out and has been happy with someone now for so long. I always ask guys who go on about how bad f*gs are if one of them had broken their heart because what's it matter to you if someone is gay who cares. I grew up with gay uncle and I would defend him with my life nicest guy you would ever meet. So don't understand stand the whole gay bashing thing unless you secretly are one and it makes you angry that you don't have the balls to show who you are and take it out on those who do. God bless and thank Rob for killer book and years of metal!

I tried to purchase the book only to be ripped off by Dustin mckee for 165$
