Former JUDAS PRIEST Guitarist K.K. DOWNING Talks About His Youth, Band's Early Years (Video)

Former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Kenneth "K.K." Downing was interviewed on a recent edition of "The Summer And Ellajade Show", the interview program hosted by the "talkative tag team" Summer Golding and Ella Jade Pumphrey.

"We have the cutest chat show hosts on the planet," reads the show's official description.

"The newest kids on the chatting block will be talking to some of the crème de la crème of superstars asking the questions that you all want answered and finding out the things you've always wondered!"

The eight-minute chat, which features Downing talking about his youth and the early days of JUDAS PRIEST, can be seen below.

In April 2011, Downing revealed that he would be leaving JUDAS PRIEST prior to the band's "Epitaph" world tour. In October that same year, Downing spoke to Valley Radio Online about what happened, although he declined to go into specifics.

"It was a set of circumstances that led me to not go out [on tour with PRIEST] this year," Downing said. "I was kind of geared up for it, but there was a multitude of reasons. It pretty much came down to an unsettlement on my part with working relationships.

"It's like anything else. If anybody out there is thinking it's hard to live with one woman, they should try to live with four guys and hold it together. [Laughs]"

Downing's place in the band was filled by new guitarist Richie Faulkner.

"It was a massive consideration," Downing said. "Obviously, the fans, who I love, and many of them have become very good friends. But I just hoped that they would appreciate that I couldn't continue with the way that I felt inside for reasons which I'll… I mean, certain reasons I will never, ever disclose."
