The British band Judas Priest, one of the most important bands in the history of “heavy” music, has been forced to cut short its U.S. tour due to problems with the band’s guitarist Richie Faulkner.
“It is with deep regret that we have to postpone the rest of our U.S. tour – Richie has a serious heart problem that has landed him in the hospital. Sending rays of love to our falcon – we wish him a speedy recovery,” the Prists’ official Instagram says.
The band’s management promises to keep fans informed, and as soon as doctors say something concrete, concert dates will be adjusted.
The band has been around since 1969. The first album was released in 1974. Judas Priest is one of the bands which have defined the sound of heavy metal.
Richard Faulkner joined the band in 2011, replacing Kenneth Downing. Before that the musician worked with Dirty Deeds, Voodoo Six, Ace Mafia and Lauryn Harris – the daughter of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris.
